If you don't plan to marry this man, he has no legal basis for staying in USA after his visa expires (or period of admission expires, which is noted on his I-94 card in his passport). Unless he has some other eligibility grounds that you didn't mention in your question.

Having a USA citizen child would not give him right to stay in USA permanently.

If you marry him, however, and he came to USA on a visa, then you might be able to petition for his permanent residency in USA.
