If she gets pregnant - are there legal obligations?

[Babnik]

If she gets pregnant by you, are there any LEGAL obligations? Can you just leave or ignore her?

 

[TesuqueRed]

"yes" to both questions

someday when you're not expecting it, you'll get a knock on the door or something in mail (read: paternity suit and/or pissed-off relatives) if you do the latter

if you know a family lawyer in your area they can give a run down of the laws in that area.

This is the single most idiotic fvcking question I've ever read. Even
NAS2MYLOU wouldn't say some dumb sh!t like this.

man are you just talking crap because you are upset or what?

if you made a child, you are obligated to finacially support this child by means of child support, medical coverage etc.
you have a moral responsibility to raise your child the best you can, by visitation, custody etc.

 

[Babnik]

I honestly don't know how it works.

I thought you could just say "I don't want to take care of it" and go on with life.

But they can SUE you and make you legally pay and support the child???

Thats crap...

Here it's pay AND run (this is optional).

The fastest way of getting jailed here in Brazil is by missing child support payments.

Be a fvcking man! Anyone who runs out on a chick for that should get their teeth kicked in. Half the reason Im not a DJ is cuz my "sperm donor" chose to abandon my ass, and I never had a father figure in my life.

Dear lord.

These babnik threads get more stupid and less interesting every day.

If you don't know the answer to this question, you aren't ready to have sex. Period.
