Ok, so the Father has never paid child support and there are no legal documents regarding custody yet. You need to make some decisions on the level of involvement both emotionally and financially you wish your child to have with his/her Father. Those decisions will effect how you proceed about moving out of state. In New York, the Father has the obligation to pay support and the right to be in close proximity to the child to make it easy for visitation. I strongly suggest that you see an attorney about your options and negotiating what you feel is best for you and the baby. Terminating his rights vs. paying support, etc. are all facotrs to consider. Good luck.
