You need to speak to an attorney to find out your next step and make sure you do not do anything that will land you in criminal court. You will have to establish paternity, and you may qualify to do this in an expedited manner. This would require a much longer conversation, however, than we can have on this forum. Many attorneys do free initial consultations, and this may be a good idea for you. If you find you cannot afford this, check this site out for information:

Good luck.
