You are asking a very complex question. Since she is a minor, you will be responsible for her and her baby.

You need to sit down with an experienced family law attorney and discuss the situation.

I'm sure that you have lots of questions. This space does not have enough room to answer all of the questions that you have.

I suggest that you and your daughter go visit with an attorney about all of the options.

Quite frankly the laws were not written for a minor child to have a baby. As her parent, you are responsible for both her and her baby.
