I am not aware of any reason why you would have to disclose your home address. You don't HAVE to disclose the school address, but the father will have equal access under law if he chooses to reach out and get it (See state law posted below), so I don't see any reason why you should withhold the school address.
If you are concerned about your safety or your child's safety, then you should really get a restraining order.
You should also speak with a family law attorney about whether or not you should be receiving child support.
Best of luck.
