You should go to the Family Court and file a petition for establishing paternity and a request for child support. The father does not need to consent for you to file these things. However, if you and the father can agree about paternity (or get a test on your own) and agree about the amount, you can have him pay you directly. If he isn't willing to help support the babies when they arrive, then you should go to court. Good luck.
