Sweetie, The first thing you should do is let your parents know.
The BEST thing you and your girlfriend can do is be responsible. You will have a lot of help from family members after the dust settles, But don't depend on them to help. You want to show them that you are a willing to accept responsibility for your actions. The worse thing you can do is become a slacker in your families eyes. Do whatever it takes to care for your child. Both of you get a part time job. Put the money in the bank and save for things to come. Babies aren't cheap. This will also show your family that your taking the initiative to do the right thing. Don't make your parents pay for something you did. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm fusing. I'm just speaking from experience. Keep your head everything will work out eve though it may not seem like it right now. It is going to be very tough. Just don't be dependent. Remember everything happens for a reason. You may not find out right now what that reason is but you will in the future.

apparently you have been waiting to make somewhat one.somewhat one isn't purely a corporation settlement or a mastercard, this might properly be a living respiratory toddler. you is probably no longer financially to blame immediately yet this toddler would be around a protracted time. quickly you would be 18, and the toddler would be approximately 3 so which you would be to blame for the subsequent 15 years. i'm hoping that, if she keeps the toddler, you would be an element of the youngster's existence. How previous is the mummy-to-be? Adoption may well be a thank you to pass yet it particularly is yet another concern. As to your dad and mom, they might ok be held financially to blame. a minimum of till you swap 18.

Well, how far under-aged are you?
I doubt you will be excluded. I would smart for your parents and hers to help out considering your a minor. However, if you're 16+ chances are, you can get a job. So get one. BTW: when I was younger my mom said she was going to get a savings bond for me and never got around to it. It would have been matured by now, and i'm in college. Maybe you should get one for you kid just in cause you (or your kid) will need it later.
Start saving money and plan a baby shower so U and the mother won't have to buy some of that stuff. LOL!
No point in being mean right now. You're having a baby...nothing U can do but be there and take care.

Yes you are legally obligated to support this child. Kiss goodbye to your youth! Welcome to parenting.
Unless you both give the child up for adoption.
I just read your thing about not being able to obtain credit cards and such.
In case you do not understand... a baby is not a legal document or a credit card. A baby is a living breathing creature with life needs. I hope you do not need further differentiation.
I hope your question is just a matter of freaking out over the situation... not a real picture of who you are because basically you are creating the image that all you care about is yourself.
Step up to the plate, and just one thought.. it is just recently that people started waiting so long to get married and start having kids.
My grandparents were 17 and 15 when they got hitched and began having children. My pawpaw started working right away and didn't complain about it...

Why should they, they are not the ones that played.
If you do not pay, why do you think you have a right to the child.
Get a job.
I would like to think your parents want this grandbaby.
So go find a job and take responsabiliy for your actions, do not let your parents bail you out of this mess.
I have 2, yes 2 !! grandkids with dead beat dads.
Even the grandparents say they do not want anything to do with his baby. So if you do not pay for this baby in my eyes you do not have any rights to this child you made.
I did not file for child support on the fathers because I do not want them in the childs life. If I file then they would have rights.
One of the guys did not even want....WANT...to give him his last name...that is just sad.
I love my grandkids and who their father is does not matter to me.
I am just glad I have them.
Now sence you ask the question I think you do not want to be in the life of the baby or you would be finding a way to support it.
Grow up and be a man or keep that loaded thing away from little girls.

I read that a judge once ordered a 12 year old boy to get a paper route and help support his baby. I would assume that your parents can be sued for assistance, but the bigger problem is YOU. YOU have a baby to support, Bucko, what are YOU doing about it? And depending on the girl's age, you could also be facing jail time. I'd suggest you immediately start showing what a responsible ADULT you are by demonstrating your willingness to do all that you can to support YOUR baby. You play, you pay.

No you get more responsibility -IF YOU PLAY YOU PAY!!! You are responsable for the child and will have to pay either to the girl or child support to the Friend of the Court. I suggest if you dont marry the girl that all payments go thru the Friend of the Court so you get credit for them. You could also have to pay back the cost of the childs birth if medicaid pays for it.

No you have an obligation to support your child. You need to go and get a job and help her. Your the one that chose to have sex with her not your parents. It's just time to grow up and be a man and take care of your family you helped create.
You made you bed (Not your parents) now lie in it.
Learn from this and protect yourself next time.

I don't know about LEGALLY but you have a MORAL obligation.
Actually, the best thing for that innocent child is to be adopted into a stable TWO PARENT family. You did something wrong (sex outside of marriage). Do something right by giving the baby a good life with two parents that can take care of him/her.

WOW! what a stupid question... kiss your youth and $$$ goodbye! If you can play you can pay! It is you baby not thiers and trust me, if your girlfriend has any kinda hard fist and you decide NOT to support the child yourself, she can go through the state and THE GOVERNMENT will suck you dry for money and give it all to her. Shouldve wore a glove if you werent ready for the preggers... were you sleeping in health class? did you not know how it worked? People like you really make me angry.. You had better get a job cause babies are not cheap and a 10 minute job like the sex that makes them.
