Hello-
My 16 year old daughter is dating a 17 year old boy. I want to prepare myself legally for what my rights would be as the parent of the girl, if a pregnancy should occur. Believe me when I say we have talked about how to prevent this with our daughter at great length. However, being young and in love, things can get out of control & I want to know my rights.
The boy will be going to college in California after graduation.
1st question:
If a pregnancy should occur now at their age. Can my husband & I make him or his parents care for the child half the time? We do not want child support, but half time care.
2nd:
Can we prevent him from leaving the state for college? We don't want him running away to college & leave us with fulltime care of his child.
3rd:
Do my husband & I have rights over our daughters baby? To decide who will take care of it, etc.
