More details to this question:
I married a person from another country in Feb 2013. Applied for his green card and he got a temporary one which expires in August 2015. I am 5months pregnant.He abandoned me today. He went back to his country because he doesn't want to take responsibilities and doesn't like the life in NY. He refuses to work and support me and his unborn child. He asked me to go with him, but he doesn't have anything there. He said he will come back for the delivery but I don't want him near me now that he abandoned me. He claims he will send me money at some point. What are my rights?

You can seek a support order through your local Family Court - but that's not necessarily going to get you any money. The Court has limited power to enforce an order when the subject is outside the USA.
