Legal Question in Family Law in California
guardianship and child support
To whom it may concern: I'm currently pregnant and still in college. While in school, I may have to give temporary guardianship to my mother for financial reasons. Is the father is obligated to pay child support? Thank you.

Yes. So are you. Also, he might seek custody since, as the father, he has rights far in excess of the grandmother. Then you could be ordered to pay him support.

You can trnasfer temporary custody to anyone you wish
I would suggest however contacting an attorney to
draw up the papers for you so that when you are
done with school there are no legal problems when
you wish to reaquire custody of your child.
As far as the father. You need to contact your
local district attorney and tell them who the
father is and ask that the establish child support
for your child. Once they have established paternity
they will file the necessary papers to Establish
support and garnish the fathers wages.
I hope this will help you out. Good luck.
