Hi All,
I am posting on the behalf of a friend of mine who is 13 weeks pregnant, living with her boyfriend for the past few months (less than 6). The boyfriend is the father-to-be, but is not keen on taking on the responsibility. In fact, he is adamant that she gets an abortion or moves out. They are not on good speaking terms with each other, despite her trying very hard to make the relationship work. He's been married and divorced twice. And told her that he is deliberately giving her the silent treatment like the way he did to his ex-wife to get her to leave him.
My question is - in terms of child support, has my friend any legal rights? Is he legally duty bound to support her financially?
