Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Pregnancy termintation

My dghtr is 16 and just told us that she is pregnant. Since she is a minor, can I have the pregnancy terminated whether or not she agrees? Are we legally and financially responsible for this child if she she has it since she herself is a minor?

Re: Pregnancy termintation

You cannot force anyone to have an abortion.

You are responsible for her needs and welfare until she is 18 years old.
