What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? My daughter lives in Georgia and she 14 and pregnant. Does the law say anything about the father (who she lives with) being held accountable for what happened and can she come live with me (mom) now that this has happened. I live in Illinois. She wants to come with me.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Where do you live? Are there any custody order currently in place?

I think OP meant that the 14YO is living with her father, not the (putative) father of the baby.
Ohh, yeah, I see that now.

OP, the child could just as easily have gotten pregnant on your watch as she did on Dad's. I don't think you can punish him for that.

I thought I told ya'll we have joint custody...didn't I? But I was already told by justanswer that she can come here now and the fathers don't have any rights until they establish paternity.

If ya'll have joint custody, then paternity has already been established. :rolleyes:

Sure you can. File for a change of custody and request physical custody. Of course you will need to prove a significant change in the child's circumstances (and her pregnancy may not be that).

Just becaus a teenager wants something doesn't mean they get to make the decisions. What if she didn't want to go to school? Wanted to do drugs? Would you support those choices as well?

Again: You are being asked for the exact wording of your court order minus names so we can help you determine your situation.

You say joint custody: Does that mean Joint Physical? If so, what is the split in the order? 50/50%? 70/30% what?

Does it mean Joint Legal: Who has decision making authority? Who has the final say?
This is why we need to know the exact words used. You do not appear to undertand these distinctions and we can't help you without this information.



@ Isis and Tigi--My drill's all plugged in and ready. Get the restraints for the patient, ok?
