Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Pregnant daughter
My daughter who lives in Florida is 19 and pregnant does not seem to be very intrested in the man that she conceived this baby with but still is willing to try and make the relationship with him work. He earns practically nothing and she is waiting for approval on her medicaid application. My advice to her was to not put his name on the childs birth certificate in case they do not remain together he will not have a say as to where she lives with the child etc. but will the baby be entitled to child support from this man considering the Dads name is not on the B.C. ? Please advice as to what would be the best decision in this situation.

Re: Pregnant daughter
If he's the father his name should be on the birth certificate and he is obligated to pay child support.
Re: Pregnant daughter
You are incorrect. Get his name on the birth certificate. He is responsible for child support.
