Your question is a bit unclear . . . if you mean, "legal responsibility" to get married, the answer is none. People call off weddings all the time, and there is no recourse for "breach of promise to marry" if I understand your meaning.
Things are very different as to the prospective child, as to which both parents owe a duty of support -- and have the usual options as to custody and visitation -- whether they were ever married, or not. See http://willicklawgroup.com/child-custody-and-visitation/ and http://willicklawgroup.com/child-support/. If you need further assistance, your best bet is to consult with a qualified family law specialist, either in this firm or another.
