Update on real life situation
While you all were debating, my daughter's friend, the expectant mother, told HER mother about upcoming Baby #3. Grandma kicked her out, but said she would continue to care for the two children she already had. Expectant mother talked to a lawyer, who knew a family. Result: Expectant mother has a six-month lease on a furnished apartment, a pre-paid cell phone, and a prepaid car service to take her to doctor's appointments. The PAPs are buying groceries, maternity clothing, etc.
The PAPs have been told the father is one of two possibles -- Mr. B or Mr C. The lawyer has said that both will have to be notified and tested and one will have to sign. She has said she will sign AFTER the father signs, to be sure there are no problems. She has NOT told them that if the father is Mr. C, that she will keep the baby and file for child support. My daughter told her that was unfair to the PAPs but she says it is perfectly legal. And she is right -- it is legal.
