Retain an attorney to consider the merits of filing an action to establish paternity and your custody and visitation rights as the putative father.
Re: Custudy of my unborn child
Yes as the father of the child you will be able to see the child and you will have to pay child support. While it is difficult under these circumstances to get physical custody, if you can demonstrate that if left in the current environment it poses a danger to the child that is something else.
I strongly suggest you contact an attorney and give him as many details as you can and see what your options are.
