Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

There is a big chance I may be pregnant with my ex boyfriends baby. The baby would definitely be his. If he doesn't want to help pay for our child that I may or not be carrying can I take him to court. I mean it takes two to make a baby shouldn't he help me pay for my doctors visits?

A mother can sue the putative father for child support. {Paternity would have to be established.} However, unmarried people are not usually liable for the medical bills of another. You can sue for your prenatal medical expenses, but it is a stretch. You should consult directly with a family law attorney in your area.

Good luck
