Go on maury or montel- this type of thing makes for classy television.

If you love him like a son, treat him like one. Biological relationships don't have to be that important when it comes to being someone's parent.
If you don't love him like a son, at least treat him well.
Beyond that, shit, good luck. Dealing with corrupt baby's mommas (or daddies, if the shoe fits) can be pretty complicated, from what i've seen (though thankfully not with my own baby's momma) so it would be difficult to offer any sort of specific prescription. Be civil and assertive, and don't let pettiness come into play. Remember that people make mistakes and often deserve forgiveness, but also that people who can't own up to their mistakes or can't learn from them are very rarely "helpable".
