What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OHIO
My daughter is 17. Her 17 year old boyfriend & his parents said that he will pay for 1/2 of the prenatal expenses.
She goes into premature labor at 19 weeks pregnant & the beautiful baby is born (without a heartbeat). After she is released from the hospital, we all go to the Funeral Home to make preparations, but I sign for everything. Everyone is listed in the obituary & the baby is given his last name also. Afterward, I get a text from her boyfriends mom that says, "Let me know how much the total bill is because (daughter's boyfriend) will pay you out of his paychecks plus I told him I would sell all his baby stuff he bought and he can pay with that money too."
Now, they are refusing to pay for anything. I'm assuming that there's really nothing I can do since their was never a DNA test or birth certificate, but I thought I would ask anyway...
1. Can I be reimbursed for ANY of the prenatal care expenses, and from whom?
2. Can I be reimbursed for ANY of the funeral/burial expenses, and from whom?
