Re: Having a baby
You should discuss this with an attorney. One question is what are you protecting yourself and the baby from? If father is violent then you can get a restraining order.
If you are not married then you do not have to put his name on the birth certificate. State that the father is unknown. Then do not seek child support from him.
If he is determined the be the father he will have parental rights.
