Has paternity been positively established ?
Has this been to court for setting support payments?
(sounds like it has, but what happened)

You title this what are "MY" rights, then talk about your friend. Which is it?

ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. For him to owe back support it sounds like a support order was entered years ago that he (you) either didn't know about or didn't respond to. Did he (you) know about her being pregnant?

The first thing to do is to ask for paternity testing to establish that he (you) is the father. The second thing to do is find out when the support order was awarded and why he (you) wasn't notified.
