He should pay child maintenance based on his salary.
You can find a calculator on-line.0 -
then if you can manage without his child maintenance but still take it, it could go into an account for the child when he/she is older.0

I know I'm coming late to this, and that OP isn't around any more, but I have to say, I feel very sorry for this child.
They're going to grow up unaware that they have half siblings, and when they find out, it will affect them enormously. This happened to my ex, his dad had had another family before marrying my exes mum, and she'd insisted that he had no more to do with them, so my ex and his full siblings didn't find out about the others until they were in their 40s.0 -
