Hi. my daughter is pregnant. She decided she didn't want the father involved. So she gets help form the government now. The baby daddy found out and he has been supportive and is there for her and the baby. He insist on registering the baby. We're not sure what will happen to him though. Are they going to make him pay all the Medicare bills for the baby? Even though she is not with him or married to him.
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.
