Child Support Payment Question

We had plans to get married (for the child), but I have recently decided after disucssion that it is a better idea not to get married. We have a good relationship right now, but fear it will get worse after the child is born. [snipped] You are in an awful situation (do they not sell condoms in TN?), but marrying her if you wouldn't marry her without her being pregnant may only make matters worse. Fight for your rights however you can, but realize that the cards are stacked against you. I wish you the best. I cannot disagree with anything Beverly had articulated in her post, because she is correct on every point. My only suggestion to you is work with your girlfriend on finding the right balance in terms of support & parenting time. Put it in writing and ask her to do the same. You have some time to work through this. Chances are right now she has taken your decision to not marry as rejection. It is difficult for a man & woman who are not married to continue as boyfriend-girlfriend after the woman becomes pregnant. The odds are against you. Therefore remaining calm and being fair are the only two key elements in helping your personal situation. Also, once you finish putting in writing what you want and have received her copy - go to an attorney and get legal advice. Good luck, Tracy ~~~~ http://www.hornschuch.net/tracy/ |
