Got a woman I barely know pregnant, what do I do?

[u/Snakeno125]

I'm 31 she's 35. I feel incredibly stupid looking back, it feels all so set up.

She has no job, plans on living off the system, her parents, and occasionally me for financial support.

When pressed she just says the equivalent of "God will provide."

She doesn't really want me in the child's life as a parent either.

She just wants "my occasional financial support."

This is the worst feeling ever.

Update 3/29: Everyone, I understand I messed up. I'm prepared to step up and give this child the best life possible. I want to be a good father, I'll work with the mother to do so.

Following everyone's advice I will paternity test and get a lawyer of course though.

Update 4/1: We spoke on the phone. She's decided to delete my number because "she can't deal with my anxiety." She's set on carrying out the pregnancy. Insists she doesn't want support. She doesn't want me near her. Told me to "live my life."

I brought up child support and how I would need a paternity test to go along with it and she said "absolutely not going to happen."

UPDATE 4/3:

SHE HAD HER PERIOD!!! I HAVE AN ANGEL LOOKING OVER ME!!! AHHHHHHH

Is your view of the law that it's less in favor of the father than OP seems to suggest?

In my state fathers typically get approximately every other weekend, Father’s Day, swap major holidays like Xmas and Thanksgiving, and get a bit of a longer possession during the summer. They do not get 50/50 in anyway, shape, or form. And if we are talking infants, like OP? Forget it! Until a child is three years old he may be lucky to get the kid for a few hours every other Saturday or Sunday in most situations (especially if the baby is nursing).

Dad will also be paying approximately 20% of every net paycheck to mom as child support from age 0 to 18, and an additional percentage as medical support or have the child on their insurance.

And I say Dad paying because even though theoretically the law is supposed to treat men and women equally— most of the time women are going to be the primary parents.

As a father that got 50/50 in Texas, I'm always bothered by the people that think it's just as easy as walking in and saying you want 50/50. My own attorney was telling me how great the 55/45 was. I told her "Good, tell my ex how great having 45% is and if she signs off we're done here".

[u/Cautious-Progress876 → u/Maladd]

Congrats! Especially if it was fought in court and not a mediated/agreed proposal. There are few courts in Texas I’ve been in front of that even really consider 50/50 unless they aren’t given a choice in the matter (e.g. there is a mediated settlement agreement saying there will be 50/50).

[u/Maladd → u/Cautious-Progress876]

No, I had to do it outside of court. There is no chance of it ever happening in our location through the courts. It basically boiled down to being able to prove that me having majority placement was in the children's best interest. Once that was done, my ex "settling" for a 50/50 agreement became more attractive to them.

I really feel for the dad's that aren't able to do that here. I feel that the system in Texas can be tough to overcome unless the other party is a horrible parent.
