Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Medical bill responsibility

Boy 19 and girl friend 17 is pregnant (supposedly, no proof yet). Boy trying to get job with benefits or maybe join military to have benefits to take care of child. Girl�s mother has no insurance to cover girl. Boy is willing and wanting to provide for child. They don�t want to get married right now to make matters worse; she doesn�t want to give baby up for adoption which he would go for. Question is he responsible for her medical bills or just the baby�s once it is born?

Re: Medical bill responsibility

Just the baby.

His responsibility can be enforced only after paternity is established, and there is a court order. This is a good time to consult a lawyer, and get the rules in place.
