This question is impossibly vague. Thousands of things "will happen," some significant and some insignificant.

Here are a couple of questions for you: Was your paternity ever established in accordance with your state's laws? If so, how was it established. Please be specific, and note that "my name is on the birth certificate" does not answer this question.
We filled out and submitted a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity at the hospital before leaving which I believe is all that is required in Illinois.

I am working on finding a family law attorney to work with to sort this out. In the meantime, I was just looking for some thoughts or advice on what to expect because this is all entirely new to me and I am trying my best to navigate through it in the meantime. Sorry my question was vague but I am not familiar enough to ask more specific questions.
