Get a lawyer, work out an agreement

Please get legal representation. Not for the sake of being adversarial, but because you need someone who can fully inform you of your rights and help you to negotiate an agreement that establishes your paternity, documents a fair child support payment schedule, and gives the child full access to both sides of his immediate and extended family. Your family is not just your family, they are the child's family and until you can establish rights for custody and visitation the child is deprived of those relationships. There doesn't seem to be any reason why you cannot seek joint physical and legal custody, which you need in order to be able to participate in decisions about your child's upbringing, education, medical care, etc., and fully participate in your child's life as his father, not subject to the whims of the mother. Both of you should be accountable to the agreement established by the courts as they determine the best interests of the child if you are not able to agree.

Please do this NOW before you lose any more time with your daughter or blindly put your daughter's fate in the hands of a youthful relationship with no outside accountability.
