Find answers to your legal question.





What do you do if you are pregnant and the guy's family want you to get married?

What if you are pregnant and the baby's father side is pushing us to get married. It was just a fling and I really don't want to get married with him but want to keep the child. I just want him to be around and pay my child support! haha

Is it wrong to think that I just dont want to marry him? I really think his parents are doing that so they don't have to support us (since he livs with his parents) and his parents hate me but make us to get married and his parents are disowning their own son! what should i do?

p.S. the father is 26 and i am 28

Just stop being pregnant.

You both are old enough to tell his family to back off.

If you don't want to marry him, then no one can force you. They don't support you. If they hate you, how will getting married change that? It won't. If they are disowning their son over this, then marrying a man you don't feel a connection to isn't going to help anything.

You both are adults. Remember that. You aren't 17 and pregnant. You're 28 years old. You're old enough to decide your own life.

Definitely don't get married if you don't want to. You'd end up in a loveless marriage and the child wouldn't understand.

That's great the you're keeping the baby and you can definitely do this without getting married.

Tell his parents to mind their own business!!

DONT marry him... If you're already 2nd guessing it now... its gonna be so bad when you marry him... You just gotta make him at least be in your soon to be child's life BUT dont marry him... **** other people's parents they're ******* retarded

Let's see here, you want to follow the biggest mistake of your life with the second biggest? Children deserve a mother and father equally so please do what is in the best interests of the child.

its not about if you two get married or not its about how are you going to give this child the best life possible if he doesnt pay support which i dont agree with doe that mean you are not going to give the child love if you two get married does this mean he will support the child and both of you give it love love the child and raise it you made the decision to have the fling the child did not ask to be brought into this situation do what is best for the child

You just want him to pay child support....don't get me started on that subject. But to answer your question,it's up to you and your child's father. Both of you are grown people,don't let anyone control your life or future. You don't want to marry him and just want his support,then just tell him.

i think it would be very stupid to get married just because you are pregnant. It would only make things worse if you are not in love.It seems the best way to deal with it is to remain friend and hope he helps out. just because you are ordered childsupport doesnt mean you will recieve it. so dont count on it


m&m collector
you brought this mess on yourself 28 what were you thinking duh like i didn't think i could get pregnant remember pregnancy is not the only thing to worry about std's , very irresponsible no dont get married cause it will never work but it does sound like the family will be in the picture so you better watch your p's and q's pulling stunts and acting as a child they might be the ones to raise this kid, sounds like all you want is child support honey dont fool yourself you wont get enough to live high on the hog it is not easy raising a child

Have you seen the movie knocked UP

Slobby Ben and up and coming career girl Alison meet at a bar, and end up having a one night stand. Eight weeks later, Ben is shocked when Alison meets him and reveals that she is pregnant. Despite having little in common, the two decide that they have to at least try to make some kind of relationship work for the baby's sake.

Get the movie..sit with your girlfriends have a good giggle then decide what you want to do

Definitely do not just get married to please his parents. His parents should not be forcing you and their son to marry if you two are not in love. Do what is right for you.

Your an adult...no one can force you do get married if you don't want to.

if u don't want to get married don't ...both of u are old enough to figure things out...his parents should interfere


Bella
i would hope that at 26 and 28 u guys would be more careful... but whatever has happened has happened so now its time to move forward....u shouldnt marry someone just because ur pregnant.. u should marry someone because ur in love and want to spend the rest of ur lives together... dont get married, but try starting all over with him.. maybe go on a few dates and see if maybe in a couple of months ur feelings are a lot stronger for him... if not then move on.

Grow up and give this baby up to someone who appreciates the gift of life. For pete's sake he's 26 and you are 28, stop playing stupid games. You'll just ruin the life of your child.


ScSpec
You are old enough to make your own decision. Plenty of girls don't get married even when they are pregnant, it seems to be the popular thing to do. If you don't love him then you shouldn't marry him. Just try to have a friendly relationship so that the baby knows his father. If your only goal is to get some money out of the guy this was no way to do it.

Marriage is not something you do because someone else wants you to. If you want to keep the child and the father is willing to help, that does not mean you have to marry him. PLEASE .... do not marry just because his parents want you two to get married. That is not a RIGHT nor a GOOD reason. When your child grows up you do not want him/her to think he/she was the only reason you got married. You have to live with the person you marry for life, and if you do not truly love that person, living together could be not only detrimental to you, but to the child as well. My mother stayed with my abusive father for 24 years "for the sake of the children", and we would have been better off if she had left rather than deal with the terrible home life we endured.....

don't get married if you dont want to- its a mistake to marry for a child. you wont be happy. and you have to be happy- to make your children happy.

You do what your heart tells you to do. Being pregnant is no reason to get married. There are alot of single moms out here doing just fine, and so will you. Congrads.

Do not get married. My family tried to pressure me into that when i waqs pregnant with my now 8 year old. Eventually they got over it- i knew deep down- he was not the one i was going to- or even wanted to marry.

Sad reality is- especially if his parents dont like you- chances are he'll end up being a dead-beat dad. He wont want to make time to see your kid and you;ll have to deal with bullcrap that is child support. Believe me, its not easy money- and it doesn t even come close to covering the costs of raising a child.

Just move on from this guy- why do you care what his family thinks anyways? You have a right to say no. If you have too- find some information online and print it to give to them on why almost every marriage that entered because of pregnancy ends fairly quickly and how much harder it is on the kids and the parents involved.

His parents sound controlling and im sure they are freaked out that they wont ever get to see their grandbaby!

Please, please listen to your heart. His parents need to realize that you're a big girl and can make your own decisions. It's not like your pregnant and 16. That would be a horrible marriage.


atomicdoug171
If you don't love this man, then don't marry him- it will end badly. What role does this man, if any, want in the child's life? Does he want full parental rights and joint custody or just visitation?

Use birth control with your next boyfriend!!

Do not get married unless you want to. Period. End of story.

Its not up to them, its up to you guys, Dont get married if your not in love and you dont feel its right..Dont do it


MommyB
No one can make you do anything that you don't want to do. It sounds like he wants to be a part of his child's life. That's a good thing. It isn't wrong that you don't want to marry him. If you don't feel that way, then you just don't. Although, I would talk to him about your feelings, and try to come up with a mutual decision that you can both live with. It isn't his parents decision, it is between you and him.

Hey your lucky he is stickin around. Have you tried getting to know him? I wouldn't recommend marrying anyone you don't really want to. I especially don't recommend getting married just because someone else thinks so. You never know, you may want to eventually the marry the guy and he may want to marry you, but this is not how you should do it. Do whatever YOU think is right and whatever is right for YOU, not whats best for his family. This isn't really their situation. I mean yes they are his family, but this isn't even something they should be suggesting. Good luck.

Do not get married. Do not ever let anyone force you to do anything that you do not want to do. It will never work. You do not want it and marrying for a baby is not a good thing to do. It is not wrong for you to not marry him. I would be wrong to do it.


Amilia
Dont marry if you dont want to, there are plenty of single moms out there doing a fantastic job. Dont let them pressure you because they are in a tough spot.
