Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: Child support

QUESTION:

Ok. This is complicated. I know a girl who is 18, and she had sex with a guy under 18. After a few months she got pregnant. The guys parents are going to press charges for rape if she tries to collect child support because he wants nothing to do with his son. What can or should be done.

ANSWER:

Nothing needs to be done. Most likely, she will not go after him for child support. Rather, she will simply go on welfare. And then the State will go after him for child support so as to reimburse the taxpayers for the wilfare money being paid out to the mother.
