I am sorry you are going through this mess. Cheating tears a piece out one's soul.
I am glad you cancelled the wedding too. No way should you be marrying this man right now in the middle of weathering an infidelity!
It is complicated for you because you have a n infant child together and have been living as essentially a married couple for 5+ years without the "benefit" of a legal marriage.
However, you may be considered to be common law married in some states. You might want to check on that.
If you part, not being married, there is no community property so you would only get child support.
Financial considerations are important, but ultimately the repair of relationship requires honesty on the cheater's part and a genuine remorse and commitment to the relationship. Gaining that will take a significant amount of time and probably the help of professionals.
it is ok to be angry and hurt.
