At a minimum, you are entitled to court ordered child support payments.
Mr. Wade beat me to the answer regarding child support: this is required under law. As to the home and car, you may have a claim if you can prove that you originally contributed money to the home (or that you did during the relationship to enhance its value), however, you would have a much more solid claim if the two of you were married.
At a bare minimum, you should attempt to obtain the child support. Your claim for any other item(s) could be assessed after a more detailed review of all facts (circumstances) of your relationship.
