My girlfriend is pregnant and she is illegal?
My friend is in the same situation. She is illegal and because of that she couldnt get medicaid. She can get emergency medicaid. Everyone qualifies for that even if you are illegal. Emergency medicaid covers for when she delivers the baby in a hospital and her stay in the hospital afterwards. You just need to save the money and pay for the doctor visits. Check in your area for a free clinic. Every city needs to have one, call the health department or the nearest hospital to where you live and ask them for the phone number. They provide free or low cost prenatal care while she is pregnant. She can get on WIC. (Women, Infants, and Children.) That pays for some food that she needs during pregnancy, if she breastfeeds or if she bottlefeeds it pays for formula as well. That helps alot cuz formula gets pretty expensive. Then the child can have WIC until he or she is 5 years old. Call your local health department and they can give you more info. They speak spanish as well. They offer free classes about a variety of things. I hope this helps! Good Luck and Congratulations! Dont stress about it, everything will turn out fine! But dont go back to Mexico because you will want your baby to be a US citizen so that she can get legal easier!
Can my girlfriend leave the country with my child?
My girlfriend is pregnant. She was born here in the U.S., but when she was 7 her family moved to Mexico. When she has the child, does she have the right to move back to Mexico and take our child with her, without my consent? We are not married. Is there a law against her doing that? Can I stop her? Please help. I am 46 years old, and have always wanted a child of my own. Finally i am going to be a daddy, and she threatens to leave with my child.
Illegal alien girlfriend is pregnant - what are my rights?
I am a US Citizen. A couple of years ago I started dating a woman who is now an illegal alien. She overstayed her tourist visa a couple of years ago. About a month ago she informed me she is pregnant. (i'm 100% sure it's mine.) As I love and care about this woman, I informed her I would do everything I can to be responsible, however she does not feel the same about me and therefore does not want me to be part of her life. The baby is not due for another 7 months. She will not answer the phone or allow me to see her. What are my rights? What if she decides to go back to her country before the baby is born? If the baby is born in the USA, will I be allowed to see partial or full custody? If I get the law involved, will she and the baby be deported? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
My girlfriend is pregnant with my baby, but is still legally married to another man. Who has rights?
TOTALLY TRUE! Im in the same boat. Ive been separated from my ex since 2008 and havent been able to get divorced. My bf was suuuper pissed when he was told at the hospital that our baby's bc would have to include my legal husbands info as the father. But there is a way around it. Your girlfriend can deny info on the father,even though u both know u r the father but at least this way her legal husband will not be on ur babys bc. It'll show as "mother declines fathers information" on the fathers section on the bc. Now when she does get around to the divorce u will have to take a dna test for the court to prove that the baby is indeed yours and not her ex husbands. I KNOW IT SUX ive tried every which way to get around it but it didnt work. I now have 3 kids with my bf still cant get divorced bc he is out of the country nd a lawyer wants 15 grand to take my case nd dont have the $. So all my kids have no father info on their bc. They all have his last name but he cant be on any of their documents legally. :(
My ex girlfriend is apparently pregnant with my baby, how do I move forward?
The same way my husband moved forward.He wasn't sure if the baby was his, since the girl he fathered a child with had a massively bad record of making her rounds. Having one of his friends live with her for a couple of months made it that much worse in his eyes.He had thought it would tear us apart because we were just getting together and she was still pregnant. We had a discussion that we both agreed we didn't want a relationship with someone with kids already. Just because of this didn't mean I was to up and leave. He was honest with me.Anyways….The baby was born. They arranged for a paternity test to take place. They did some shady online thing. Where she had admitted to testing other men too. There was no names on it so it wasn't good enough for him. Though it was shady he didn't want to neglect the child simply because her mother did shady things. We arranged to have her every other weekend. (We got 2 weekends then found out I was pregnant. Had an argument and he blurted that crap out to her. After several attempts of her trying to bust us up to try get something going with him) after the announcement of my pregnancy she flipped. Started the process of hitting him on child support. Demanding back pay.Back to my original point.If there's any doubt to get a paternity test then to start working out an arrangement if you would like to be in the childs life. Also you could discuss with her how you could help her. After all it takes two to make a baby. If she decides to have an abortion then you could offer to be there to support her. The best you could do is support her and you can move forward with your working. Having a kid with an ex is not the end of the world.
My 15 year old daughter is pregnant, do I have any legal rights to what happens to the baby?
If she wants to keep the baby, then it's up to her to pay for childcare when she works, it's up to her to provide for tge baby, etc. She will NOT be going out and having fun. If she becomes neglectful, then the baby is to go into foster care or in the care of someone else if you can't care for it. She will also have to live somewhere else if she's not going to live up to her responsibilities. The daughter is not emancipated. To be emancipated means the law will see her as an adult, and she has the rights of adults. She is not an adult in any sense. The only decision she can make medically is whether or not to have the baby. If she whines about not having freedom, feel free to remind her she chose to get pregnant. None of this is fair to you. If she doesn't live up to her responsibilities, there are homes for unwed mothers who will put her out on the street if she plays games with them. so do be quite frank with her. You need to be quite frank how her decision to get pregnant affects EVERYONE around her. It's not just her life affected. Her decision to keep and raise the baby will affect many people's lives. People who say to suppirt a teen raising her child often times have no idea what that entails. I do, as I did it. I babsat all the darn time while my teen mom ex friend went out and got pregnant a second time. Her parents were raising her child. I finally got sick of it, and said no more. All of her kids were removed by CPS at one point. The first one was with her parents, the other three went to her sister. Edit. I don't care how many tds I get. Everything I'm saying is true. I'm just sorry everyone feels you should be her doormat. No. Time for her to grow up. Yes, she could be a good mother, which will mean she will do all the work, pay for daycare while at work or school(you shouldn't have to quit your own job to babysit), and, may well need a fire lit under her to feed the baby at all hours, to stay up with the child when sick, to change a diaper when sge doesn't want to, etc. I see this a lot. So, if sge wants to live under your roof, you may have to make her do this stuff.
How common is it for a woman to intentionally get pregnant to trap a man? Do you know anyone this has happened to?
Some of the people who have answered this are incredibly naive.YES, it actually happens, it happened to me. It’s a sleazy story in many ways that I won’t get into… Suffice it to say I had sex a couple of times with a girl that I was not particularly attracted to. It was a quid pro quo arrangement. My severely handicapped friend wanted any sex he could get. She wanted - well… me. So my friend got laid - as long as I let her have what she wanted.I was also world record breaking stupid, and did not wear a condom. I believed her when she said she was “on the pill”. This was before AIDS was a big thing - but I was still off the charts brain-dead moronic. When she told me she was pregnant, I offered to pay for an abortion. In fact, I set it up, made the appointment, was going to drive her there, etc… No go.Turns out (her best friend told me later) she had planned it from the start. Wanted a kid, wanted me to be the dad. She hoped I would marry her, but she was ok/resigned to it if I didn’t. Essentially, she was planning on raising kids on welfare - just like her mom raised her. And she did. At least 3 others, besides mine.Long (ugly!) story short, I paid child support - until the State (in the USA - but I won’t say which one) started automatically garnishing the paycheck of any father of a child on welfare. I was never late, nor did I ever fail to pay. She simply got tired of working, went on welfare - and my paycheck got garnished. This does not look good to employers, trust me! Makes it much harder to get a new job - or keep the one you have!She also played several dirty tricks… took her other children (from other fathers) to the doctor and claimed it was my child, which charged it to the insurance I was required to maintain for my child… Lots of other nasty crap that I won’t go into.The worst part by far… I involuntarily had a child - that I did NOT want. I had no choice, no voice. I didn’t mind paying support. I considered that my legitimate responsibility - still do. Not that it was easy! Child support took FAR more than it cost me to raise the 2 kids I had with my wife.No… What bothers me is that there is a person in this world who did not have a father, because I refused to marry the bitch that planned this shit. That person resents and hates me - with good reason!But as much as I have thought about this - for more than 3 decades - the only thing I can think of that I really did wrong is believe her lies, and fail to wear a condom.
