I am in a very similar position. I fell pregnant during one of our breakups (before we got married) and when I told him I was pregnant, he knew instantly that it was never his. However, we talked about it once and he said he would take responsibility for the baby and love it as his own. When my beautiful girl was born, I asked him whether I should add his name on her birth certificate and he agreed. After years of a disastrous marriage, I decided to leave him last summer and now filing for divorce. He has now suddenly decided he wants to take no responsibility of my daughter and says I must stop being a hypocrite and tell the truth. I know he's right but I don't want to hurt my baby. I know she deserves some truth but I DO NOT want this to affect her for the rest of her life. Her own biological father made it clear he did not want the baby and actually tried to persuade me to terminate the pregnancy. My baby is a blessing and one of the most beautiful things that ever happened to me... and she's growing into a perfect young lady. What do I do, I feel completely lost.

Without knowing the age of the child and where you are it's almost impossible to give you a correct answer.
