What did your L say about the cost of his indiscretions reducing his responsibility under the law? This is law. It is not logic. It is not popular opinion or vote.
A good term to get familiar with is Net Present Value. It has nothing to do with future value. A one dollar lottery ticket today is only worth the dollar it cost, or less. Until it is a winner it has no future value. His future financial problems are not your present values.
What if the baby is not term? What if it becomes twins? What if has nothing to do with today. If in a few months his situation changes he can always go to court to ask for changes. What are his legal obligations to the mother and child of an extramarital affair?
Ask your L. This is what he is paid to know, to tell you, and your H. Until your H is entered into some legal arrangement my guess is that he only owes them what he can afford to offer, until she takes him to court.
Tell him his first rodeo is going to bust his ass, and good luck with that.
