If in California his infidelity is not relevant to the division of the community estate. If he spent money on you and your child the wife may have a reimbursement claim for one half of the money spent as not for the benefit of the community. The answer to your question could be much lengthier but this forum is not suitable for such a response. A consultation with an attorney would be beneficial for him.

The fact that he has another family will make his wife really angry. But it will not affect the division of the community property assets. Be prepared for her to make things very difficult for him regarding the children.

He may have to pay spousal support or more than half of the assets because of the adultery. Frankly, I would not count on him leaving his wife. I would suggest that you file an action to determine paternity, child support and custody against him now so that you at least can get child support.

Generally nothing to property division in Michigan since it is a no fault divorce state, only in exception circumstances should it be anything but 50-50 split. Further, if you have a child with him it has the potential to lower his child support payments. However if she does not know, its a recipe for a long bitter fight from his ex.
