[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]NO[/b] to the parents getting involved.

There's nothing either of you can do.  He's decided and made it very clear that he does not want a relationship with his child.  You can't force someone to have a relationship.   Expecting him to suddenly change and become an involved parent is magical thinking.

After trying for over two years with no change in his position,  it's time for you and your friend to drop it.  If you want to help your friend,  help her to move on.[/quote]

OP here. It’s a quite sad situation overall. I’m trying to be very supportive for her as much as I can.

When my friend’s son will start going to school, he would probably ask her, where is my father? What does she tell him then?

What did she think she'll say to the kid when she decided to have him without father's consent?[/quote]

Father's consent was when he had sex with Mother without using a condom or having had a vasectomy.[/quote]

This is such an outdated and stupid way of thinking. An unplanned pregnancy is in no way a consent to have a child together. If you think two people behaving irresponsibly is a consent to have a child, you are foolish. Your friend should have promptly course-corrected their failure to plan, particularly once he made it clear he was not onboard with the decision. [b]Your friend made a unilateral decision[/b] to proceed with birthing a child that only one parent wanted. At that point, it became a solo/single parent mission. Either sue for child support or move on. [/quote]

He should have a say in whether to abort or not.[/quote]

He did have a say. She disagreed.[/quote]

Then she should go it alone, no child support.[/quote]

Law and ethics disagree with you.[/quote]
