You need to file a paternity suit--preferably with the help of a family law attorney--to obtain your father's rights. Once you've done that, you are as much entitled to custody or overnight visitation as she is.
If you don't get custody, you'll likely have to pay support, as you know, but I can't calculate it without knowing each of your incomes, the cost of health insurance, and whether there will be any daycare.
