Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I has planned on terminating the pregnancy but found out I was farther along then what I was originally told. My boyfriend, upon learning that it was too late for me to terminate has since threatened to sue me if I carry to term and have this child. I have told him that he has no obligation to be in the child's life should I give birth yet he still threatens me with a lawsuit. Can he sue me for having this child?

That's a silly lawsuit. Your boyfriend is a jerk.
Not only does he have NOTHING he can sue you for, YOU can and SHOULD sue him for child support. He is legally obligated to support the child until he or she turns 18. And I agree with Mr. Roach that your "boyfriend" is a total jerk. I won't use the rest of my vocabulary for him on a public site.
The content of your questions suggest that you have an abusive boyfriend. This kind of abusive psychological conduct can affect your child as a child matures. Consider very restrictive parenting orders on contact between father and son.
