No, the only legal obligation you have is child support.

Geez, how old are you! Obviously you already don't care for this person. Otherwise you wouldn't even consider asking this question. You apparently have issues with commitment and also fidelity. If, you did get this girl pregnant it is your responsibility to take care of the child. But if you screw once, try not to make the same mistake twice. It takes a real man to be a Father. Don't marry her if you don't love her or you will just tear up her life more than what it is now if she is pregnant. Marry her because you love her. If you don't want all these obligations then try using a condom.

No, your not obligated to do so, but it would be the nice thing to do. The most important thing to do is to make sure the baby recives all the love that a father can give. Remember and guy can make a child, but it takes a true man to be a father! If both you and the mother do not want to get married, do not get into a marriage just for the sake of the child, though.Those marriages fall apart and the child ends up being the victim, ofthen blaming him/herself for it. Just pay your child-support, and give the child unconditional love, show him a father figure, and you will be just fine!

You are obligated to child support, but not marriage. Be a good parent to your baby and be cordial at the very least with the mother, and marriage is not necessary. Sometimes being around parents in an unhappy marriage is worse than having parents that live in different houses. But kudos for stepping up to the plate and fulfilling your duties as father. I wish you the best of luck!

No, never get married for any reason but love. If you got married it might make a worse situation not only for you and the girl but also the child. Your only obligation is to help raise the child and be a part of its life. Thats fair to all of you. Everyone needs to be responsible for thier actions, and you sound like you are going to do that. Dont ruin your life and theirs by forcing a situation that isnt meaningful

In 2006, you are not obligated to marriage and your not obligated to be with her.
I just want to know how you get a women pregnant in 2006. With all the birth control methods? Honestly?

If you got a girl pregnant, and have not run out on her and your future child, then you are showing maturity and responsibility. You are not obligated to marry her. No need to make a bad situation worse if you are not in love or are under age.

You are only obligated to your child, always pay your child support. As for the mother if you don't want to spend the rest of your life with her then don't get married but try to be friends. My kids father left me when I got pregnant but many years later we are actually very close friends.

As a single mom, I can tell you NOT to marry her unless its what you really want. Don't marry her for the baby. The baby will grow up and realize that you are only with the mother for them. Its just not worth it. Just try and do everything in your power to help the mother take care of the baby. Don't walk out on her. It makes it very difficult for the mother and baby. Just be the best dad you can and work on having a "civil" relationship with the mom for your child. Good luck and best wishes with the baby.

No absolutely not. I got pregnant and my b-f said he'd want to support the baby but He still has feelings for me anyways. So he made the decision to ask me to marry him. But your not obligated. There are alot of men who are not married to their baby's mothers and the situation usually works out fine. Depending on the kind of person you are.
