Answer
You both have equal rights to the baby, but you will have to prove paternity first if you did not sign the birth certificate. If you are able to obtain joint custody on a 50/50 rotation, and both of you are still in school (hopefully), then it isn't likely that support would be ordered. Not really enough to say for certain, but basically if neither of you have anything and both your parents are supporting you, there is nothing to really split.
At some point, you are going to be liable for supporting your child. If you let her have custody for the majority of the time now simply because she is threatening you with child support, it will hurt you later. The less visitation you have, the more you pay, and I guarantee that at some point she will be hitting you up for support.
