 I think the answer might be specific to the laws in your contry and any extenuating circumstances that would sway courts in her favor - presuming you did not come to an amicable agreement yourselves.
Where I live, around 3/4 would typically go to the woman. If you owe a lot of money on it, then perhaps it is best to sell it and divide any profit along whatever percentage.
If it is viable for her to keep it, then look at it as putting a roof over your childs head by stepping back. If it makes you feel better stipulate it is not to be sold without your consent and that it is your child who will get it in the long run irrespective of your fiance possibly getting a new partner.

In all fairness though, if you split she would get custody of the kid and you'd have to give her the house anyway to ensure the well-being of your kid.
A family member of mine had the same thing happen, he's now paying a mortgage for a house he doesn't live in and maintenance on top of that. The house is in his name but he couldn't exactly kick his child and ex-fiance onto the street.

 If you're married and then split, then yes, youre 'wife' would have an entitlement to what you own. If you sign a prenuptual agreement before you get married, you can state within it that upon splitting she has no entitlement to the house.
If you're not married, no. Your fiance has no right to the house because legally she's not your next of kin or anything. Your child is a different matter, but i'm not sure what the rules are with that but technically no. The house would be yours.
