More details to this question:
The father of my child claims he does not owe any child support and says he will not pay it. There is no court order for custody or child support yet. I'm going to hire a lawyer as soon as I find one that suits this situation. I have tried to discuss finances with him but he seems to think he doesn't owe anything For the past 10 months.

I recently wrote a blog at our law firm's web site under family law issues. Under Wisconsin law, you are only entitled to retroactive child support, going to the time a motion or petition. requesting child support is filed and the other party is served with notice of the request; so, the answer to your question is generally no, unless you fall within one of the statutory exceptions to support commencing when the motion is filed and served.
