From your facts, it sounds like you should consider going to Family Court in the area where you live and filing for custody and child support (once the baby is born). If he will not admit paternity, you may need to prove it (a paternity test would clear it up and you can get the court to order one).
The Family Courts in New York City have excellent services for low income individuals. Many have a free lawyer service that can provide you help in starting your case.
