Re: Breach of promise
I am assuming that there is no written agreement. So you can only go after him for child support (assuming it is his child). If you are not married, you cannot get maintenance.
This may seem unfair, but you had to know when you quit your job, that there was a risk this would happen. If you really just left a job and entrusted your entire future and your daughter's future to an unenforceable promise made by someone not married or related to you, there is little recourse for you.
