Statutory Rape

It will accrue while he is in prison. Then when he gets out and gets a job, he will be required to pay you child support and back child support. Now for the reality. Sex Offenders generally don't end up with good paying jobs, so the amount he will be ordered to pay you will be minimal at best. Likely around $100.00 or so a month. He will have sex offender counseling he has to pay for as well as living expenses. Plus fines, costs of the court etc.

What I am saying is, don't rely on any money he is ordered to pay. No matter how much he may want to, reality is that he just won't be able to make enough. The burden for supporting the baby will be totally on your shoulders. Very few bad decisions a teen makes are as expensive as the one to have sex with someone who is not ready for the responsibility's of life. Both fiscally and mentally.

Good Luck, hope we helped.

I'm sorry, but I'm still not quite understanding. Will I be paid the child support issued, or will it just pile up, and he will payback the government when he is released?

It will pile up. You're not going to see any child support money until he gets out of prison. Even then, because he's going to have a statutory rape/child molestation conviction on his record, his prospects for employment much above minimum wage will be slim. The state will be able to garnish some of his wages, but not much. My guess is you're not going to see child support out of this guy for quite a while.

But because you won't be getting child support, you'll have increased eligibility for various state welfare programs. WIC, food stamps, etc.
