Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
financial obligations for his careless actions
My daughter, age 20 had gotten pregnant from her boyfriend, same age. They were both scared and did not want a child so they decided to get an abortion. Neither had any money so I paid $600 up front to the doctors office. My insurance was to cover the balance. I asked the boyfriend to reimburse me for the $600 but her refuses. He does not feel he has any financial obligations for his careless actions. Can I take him to court?

Re: financial obligations for his careless actions
I can't see how he would and if he did, he would owe her, not you. You took it upon yourself to pay.
Re: financial obligations for his careless actions
This does not seem like a joke, so I will assume it is not.
No. You made a gift to your desperate daughter. Unless you can convince a judge that he agreed to pay it, which is possible, I suppose.
Let's see, $600.00 and a grandchild not born but created. Let's see, which issue is more important? Hmm....
No, I am not against abortion nor in favor. I just think you are focusing on a fairly unimportant issue.
Oh, and under your theory, would your daughter not be obligated to pay you half? she was present at the time, no?
