    Teen Pregnancy
    Im 15 years old and pregnant the guy who got me pregnant is 16,
    I dated this guy for five months I thought I loved him,
    But when I found out I was 6 and a half weeks pregnant
    He wanted me to get an abortion. And he would always
    Put me down and say I'm ruining his life. And he wanted
    Nothing to do with me. So he broke up with me.
    And now I'm 6 months pregnant and now he's saying he's
    Taking me to court for right for the baby?
    He is doing marijuana and smoking cigs, and drinking.
    And he has people spending the night and partying .
    He is not very responsible. Will court give him rights?
    I have proof he is doing drugs at his house.

    Please help :/

    If you are living with your parents in a stable home, its unlikely the courts will give him full custody. He will probably get visitation though.

    I don't see a court giving him full custody if that is what you are worried about (unless he can prove you are an unfit mother). However, he will be allowed to visit his child. What state are you in? I ask because laws especially with infants can be very different and picky picky picky in different states.

    Just because you are fed up because of all of your 40 cases this month doesn't mean you have to be mean. Yea, I don't like the fact that all of these young irresponsible teenage girls are getting pregnant either because most of them will have to go on welfare and it is my tax money that is helping them pay for their children that they were too young to have and support, but that is besides the point.

    It is not only the teenager's faults. Where are all of the parents of all of these young teenage girls getting pregnant? Why didn't the parents step in and get the teenager on birth control or talk to the teenager about safe sex? Everyone makes mistakes when they are younger and they have to pay for those consequences. You don't have to be ugly about it though, just pass the thread up if you are tired of hearing about it.

    As for this young girl here, the father of the child will have rights unless he is proved to be a danger to the child or is proved not to be the father. My daughter's father was using drugs and drinking all the time and has never paid me child support since my daughter was born, but he still has his rights to my daughter (which he never has excercised, thank goodness). So, it takes a lot for a parents rights to be revoked. Just hang in there and try not to worry about too much while you are carrying this child. You don't want to be stressed out while you are pregnant and worry that he will take your child from you. He has to prove that you are an unfit mother in order to get the child taken from you.

    If the father wants to be a part of the child's life, I wouldn't try to deny him of the child unless he is really a danger to the child. Don't try to deny him of the child just because you guys aren't together anymore and you want to be ugly to him (which more than likely wouldn't be possible, you can't deny the child from the father unless the courts approve of it and again, you will have to prove him unfit or a danger to the child). It will effect your child in the long run. A child needs BOTH of their parents, whether the parents are together or not. Good luck with everything and I hope that you have a good support system, because being a mother is a really hard job and it is very trying at times.

    The fact that she is under 16 may make this a criminal matter too, depending on the location of the kids.
