she just graduated from high school and the father of her child is not what we thought him to be. He is very unstable mentally and the less support we get from him the better.

Check your local phone book for the social service agencies. She will probably have to go through domestic relations to file for support for the child, even if she doesn't get anything from the father. There are Catholic Social Srvice agencies, and several church organizations that will help. Also the New Choice/New Options program will help her get the training needed to be able to get a decent job. Hope this helps.

ma'am i believe the best assistance that you can give to your daughter is your support. and i knoe that you already are but don't let her become dependant on welfare foodstamps or whatever you want to call it. help that baby with her baby and let her continue going to school. the best thing that she can do for her and her child right now is to get an education. and i'm not talking bachelor's degree or anything like that. that can always come later. but something that will let her keep her foot in the door of opportunity. there are plenty of government grants out there that she can apply for and by her having a child it may increase the amount of money that she can get to stay in school. and as far as the father's situation goes, you just have to let the lord deal with that. sounds like he needs a blesssing.

Get in contact with a local womens resource center.
WIC should provide food for her and her child and they are very giving.
Local church organizations suchas Love, Inc. will also provide services to her.
See about grants etc so that she can continue her education. It will be a long road ahead if she does not have a good paying job.
Her high school guidance office may be able to help you with that.

Does not matter how unstable he needs to be paying support. There is no way to push him away and keep him away. He has parental rights. One of which is paying for his child. You obviously did not prepare your daughter very well for making adult decisions or she would not be in this situation. It seems you need to keep her at home and raise your grandchild while she goes back to school and gets a job 5 years from now. I don't have much sympathy for parents looking for public assistance for their children because they didn't teach birth control.

health and human services will help her find a job and daycare as well as provide health insurance for the baby and in some cases her at a reduced rate. They might even help her with going to college if that's what she wants. You need to contact health and human services. The state will also probably take action to get child support money from the father for her or they will keep as payment for their services.

have her take is sorry @ss to court. if he dont pay then eventually he will b labeled as a dead beat parent. Or/& get on welfare - cash, food stamps & medical. But if she gets cash she wont get her child support, she gotta choose which 1 she wants. have her go 2 u local public housing authorities for an apt. most of their apts is on the bus line. she might b able to get a quick apt if she goes to a homeless shelter. also if and when she gets a job she can apply for title 20 (daycare vouchers wit a lil fee based off of her income).
congrads on her new baby and wish her luck!
