[quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure if you are still reading.

Former teen mom here. Very similar situation as to what you describe. 2 good kids, going to private school, dating exclusively for 3 years. And then I was 17, and pregnant.

FYI, as soon as a girl is pregnant, she's an emancipated minor. Her parent's health insurance won't cover the pregnancy or new baby. So the first thing I had to do was go down and file for Medicaid. For my OB appointments, I had to get excused from classes (still in HS) go down to the clinic, sign in (1st come, 1st serve). Then, when the baby was born, we did a DNA test (things had gone sour between the father and I), and I filed for child support.

We were both from wealthy families. That didn't matter to the courts - at the time of the hearing, we were both college freshmen and ordered to both be working part time. I was paid $26/week in child support.

The best thing you can do is be supportive so that your son can get his education, but also he needs to be sure to experience his new, tougher reality.

Good luck.[/quote]
