My 16 year old daughter became pregnant by a 21 year old man. I am told he also got another girl pregnant who is of legal age. I want to know if i file charges on him and my daughter decides to keep the baby can she still get child support from him?

If he is named as the biological father of her child at birth, he will be obligated legally to financially support his child and he will have certain parental rights as the childs father. If he contests the paternity of this child, a court ordered DNA test will follow to make a final determination.

If he is arrested for violation of a Texas state law, it does not effect his legal obilgation to support his child financially. It could effect his "ability" to support his child if he is in jail.

In the state of Texas, it is a violation of state law for a 21 year old to have sexual intercourse with a 16 year old. If the parent does not report this, any professional in the medical field or in education who has reasonable suspicion that a state law has been violated will by law, have to report this to authorities, Family Services, or the District Attorney according to the procedures established in the state of Texas.
