Family law question re: lying about getting abortion?

Question

this guy got me knocked up and then begged me to get an abortion.. i asked him to pay for it and he did but when i went to the clinic i couldnt go through with it... i havent told him im still pregnant but i also dont want him to have any rights because i doesnt even want this kid! can i still keep my baby and not let this loser know! i am with someone else now that wants to raise him/her .

Answer 1

you should talk with this guy.

If he's the father, remember that he has half the rights and you have the other half, you're just ahead a bit by carrying the baby.

Talk with him and make the right choice.

Answer 2

yes you dont have to tell him about the baby.

Answer 3

Well, if he ever sees you, he'll probably figure it out.  As far as parenting rights, if you try to hide it from him and he finds out, he may decide that he all the sudden wants 'rights' to 'his kid'.  So it might be a good idea to come clean and beg him to be involved just so he'll run for the border.  :)

He doesn't even have to be listed on the birth certificate.  

Congrats on your baby!

Answer 4

I wouldn't tell him. He wanted you to kill this baby... I'm pretty sure he won't be a great father. Plenty of women have babies alone and are just fine.

What if he does want custody, would you ever be able to handle sending you're baby off to the man who wanted to kill it in the first place?

He could treat the baby bad, just out of spite. I would never tell him. He lost his rights when he said he didn't want it.

You're with someone who wants to be a part of this. Sounds like a good guy. You're lucky.

Good luck!!

Answer 5

Sorry hun

His the father and will have rights.

As much as i don't my daughters father to  be apart of her life, its not my choice.

if he does not want a child , get something in writing now saying he will stay out of everything and will not be expected to pay any child support.

you don't have to tell him

But it could come back and haunt you.

Answer 6

You have to tell him and since is obvious he doesn't want the baby you can ask him to "sign over his parental rights" and that will relieve him of any Child Support, which is I guess a win win situation for both of you (the only one loosing here will be the baby, but that's not your question so I will not lecture you about it) , he signs over his rights and you don't have to deal with him again.

Answer 7

i think that you should still let him know. he has a right to know. no matter what he will be a blood father but if he doesnt want to be there oh well that on him
