A child has a right to be financially supported by both parents...And BOTH parents are LEGALLY obligated to support their children. Not the tax payer. That your daughter made the unilateral decision to not file for child support and paternity is not in the best interest of her child. Depending on your state, which you chose to not identify, and depending on the type of state assistance she received the father, upon adjudication, will be ordered to pay support...that support may be garnished to reimburse the tax payers of your state.
