[quote=Anonymous]While I would like neither to happen.  It is better to be the parent of the girl if you want access to the baby if she decides to have the child.

My cousin is living with this situation right now as the parent of the boy.  It has not been good.  He did not walk away, he has continued in school and is working part-time or as much as possible to pay child support. Initially they (my cousin and her husband) were giving the baby's mother a check each month and paying for daycare.  The baby's mother was not getting along with her own parents so moved in with her grandparents.  The baby's mother would get upset at every rumor or any misinformation she heard about my cousin's son having a new girlfriend.  They had broken up when the baby's mother announced she was pregnant.  She increasingly asked for more and more money.

Eventually my cousin hired an attorney and they went to court for visitiation.  They also requested a court ordered amount for child support.  They received both.  My cousin and her husband wanted son to continue with school so they help him pay the child support and they continue to pay daycare so that the girl can attend school if she would like to....she does not consistently take the child to daycare.  Grandparents complain that they take care of child while she sleeps all day or watches tv/youtube.   My cousin tries to stay in a good place with the baby's mom so that she can see her grandchild because the baby's mother feels she can ignore the visitation order if she is mad about something.
