Get a DNA test, and from there you will know more on what to do with your situation.

You need to take responsibility. YOU chose him as the father of your kids right??? You girls make the mistake of doing whatever they want with no regard to yourselves or your unborn children........Then whine when they "turn-out' to be idiots...Remember.. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, Guys tell you who they are. LISTEN!

No your not wrong because it was better to be safe then ending up having a girl thats pregnant with a child that belongs to you and you having to pay for child support if you don't get married

well I thought I had a daughter for 15 years- then it was necessary for me to take a dna test- proving she wasnt mine.  I am lucky in the way that I never knew her, but I looked for her the whole time.  The reason I had to take the DNA test was because when I found her, I wanted to help her out of a bad situation and have her live with me- finding out she wasnt mine after all opportunities I passed up so that she could find me if she ever looked for me- was devistating.  I think the least her mom could do is pay me back for the 700 dollar test!\n\nThis just confims my thoughts that a man should have more peternal rights.  They should be able to decide just as much as the mother about having children, they should get just as much help from the courts in matters as well.

I know how you feel...my ex stopped paying for our 3 children too.  The minute I met the man I am currently with(13 years) he stopped paying any support, luckily my new man had no problem helping me support the children.  They are now 22, 24 and 26, and they have little respect for their father, but great respect for their step dad. Any man can be a father it takes a real man to be a Dad!

Children of any age resent any "outside" interference from sources such as yourself in their lives.  They always consider that maybe, the parents will return to each other and they will be "one happy family" once again.  And, if by chance, your "man" was widowed, the kids think of you as the "Wicked Witch of the West" trying to replace their mom.  After 2 years, I would think you'd have a better hold on everything, but it appears maybe you and the "man" hasn't really sat down and discussed these matters for the future. But you state, its "your feelings toward the children" that you fear, not their feelings toward you?  Evidently, you can't accept the children and only want kids between you and your man.  Now that's a major problem and if I were you, and can afford it, I'd seek professional help on this matter.  And if you can't afford it, maybe the welfare people in your state might assist in financial matters?  I'd find out ASAP and get this problem either corrected in my own mind, or split with this guy knowing you will never accept his children as yours.

supposedly yes but I would contact the child support contact site and get a confirmation or go to domestic relations and have them set it up for you

I believe that in most states you can.  If there is an official child support order in place and he has not paid it, then after you turn 18 and you are a legal adult, you should be able to.  I like other people's answer about checking with your local officials.

well, i'm only 13 yrs. old, and i'm kinda not married, but i don't see anything wrong with that either. unless you had kids with your ex, you should be fine.

is the fifteen year old the mother of the baby and wanting child support for her baby ?\n\nor is the 15 year old the child wanting child support for herself from her father.\n\nNormally unless the child meets the requirement within a specific state or nation for emancipation then they can not.\nThey would either have to have a parent or guardian give permission or petition the court to appoint a guardian for this action.

It's fair to ask him.  But life is not fair. And he has never been fair to you as his daughter in your life.  So don't expect him to ante up and be a stand up man now.\n\nIt may be hard to see your friends have and easier road with more parental support but you should be proud of yourself and keep on going no matter what.  You have achieved alot in spite of \nhaving less in the parent dept.\n\nI believe you will be much more successful in life than many others who had parents just hand them money for college or other conveniences.\n\nYou are 21 and technically a grown-up.  You did it! Congratulations!  Hold your head up high and keep going!  I salute you.\n\nP.S.  Learn from the mistakes of your mom and choose the father of your children; not by the lust of the moment or a fairy tale notion but very wisely.

Your 15 year old grandson is not an adult. Any decisions made by him would have to be approved by his legal guardian. If that is you, then congratulations, if it is not then you have no legal right to him.

Not sure about the legal part,but it is most certainly wrong if you are up to no good.At 16 you are still a baby and need adult guidance.If parents cant give it see a pastor or a counselor.

No, it's not okay. You guys are way way way too young. I cant imagine what I would have done if I would of been pregnant at that age. I am now 21 and pregnant. Its hard enough now, but think of your financial assets. Can you afford a baby? Are you emotionally stable for a baby? Are you gonna be there to support the girl while she's pregnant? (b/c we need A LOT of support during pregnancy). Think this over, you have a lot going for you evidently, and if I were you, I wouldnt want to mess it up at 18. You got your whole life ahead of you, go have FUN and enjoy being a NON PARENT for a while at least, and enjoy your youth. It dont last too long. Good luck. And stay pregnant free!!

I would think it is, but the other person might be considered a minor. You might want to get a lawyer and find about that one. Good luck to you.

Yes.  If your not legally divorced yet.  Even though it's not fair, he has the exact same rights as if he was the person that had custody of them.   Unless you file for sole custody of the children, he has the right.
