Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My 16 yr. old grandson impregnated a, now 18 yr. old girl. She is on Indiana public assistance. The baby will be born in Jan. 2010. Being a minor, what will his rights and responsibilities be concerning this child. His family is also on public assistance.

Same rights and responsibilities as any father. Child support, contribution to medical expenses, etc. and he'll have parenting time pursuant to Indiana guidelines. Being on public assistance does not change any of that.
