Baby's dad refuses to pay child support

First of all, I would like to say I am so happy that I found this group. It's so hard to explain myself to people that live in that magical bubble of hussband and wife and don't (want to) understand my point of view! 

So my problem is this. I am 7 months pregnant with my daughter, and I left her dad as soon as I found out (she was not at all planned). We were in a good relationship, but I realised he was just not the person I wanted to be my child's father as we were nothing alike and he did not take his life or anything else seriously. He has no education and doesn't want one either, has a job that pays him a 15-year-old kid's salary, and still lives with his mother. 

From the beginning he claimed that I would ruin his life if I kept her away from him, and that I couldn't break his heart like that. I never wanted to keep her away since it's important to know who your parents are if you have the chance. I wasn't exactly happy with him stickig around either, but those were my problems. Not my daughter's. 

Now, after talking to my lawyer and telling him that if he registers as her dad he will have to help us financially, he asked me if I still would let him see her if he didn't register. He says he 'wants to build himself a good existence and help us financially whenever he wants to and not bounded by law' and because of this I will get to decide when he is allowed to see her and when not. 

Can I please have your opinion on this? I really wonder if I'm the only person who thinks this is disgusting and he doesn't deserve to see his daughter at all. But I also don't want her not to know her dad.
