Well if they have let their child become pregnant through bad parenting then they may as well sever their rights and let somebody who can parent the child. Just hand her over to childrens social services and be done with it !!!

∙ 13y agoIf a child is underage, there are ways a parent/guardian can force their child to arrange an adoption. However, it is always better to compromise and negotiate with children, even if they are not responsible enough to make that kind of decision, they are entitled to be educated and warned of the possible outcomes and hardships that come with raising their own children.
Parents/Gaurdians who want this for your child, make sure that you approach it with love and support while keeping firm on the options that you give. As parent you don't want to make a child resent you. And I'm sure that you can understand how hard it would be to give up a child.
Legally though you can not force your child to give up the custody. They are the guardian of their child and not you, no matter how old they are.

∙ 13y agoYes, as long as the child isn't supporting herself financially, you must continue to pay child support to the custodial parent. Becoming pregnant does not make a minor an adult.
If the child is providing more than 50% of her financial support on her own (for example, she's gotten a job and moved out of her parent's house), you may be able to stop child support payments.

If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.

If there is a Florida court decision for child support and the obligated parent moves out of state... Is the parent still obligated to pay child support once having left Florida?
Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.
