Are the laws different for underage boys than girls in most states.?
If a young woman (16) ask her boyfriend (14) to get her pregnant so the parents can never separate them and the young boy loves her so he does what she wants, then she drops him after a year when the child is born, and now that he has tried to move on with his life she says she wants his pay check for their son. We live in a big house so she thought we had a lot of money. I have a beautiful grandson and we keep him 5 days a week while she works. But my husband and I are both disabled and its hard keeping up with a 3 year old. Should I try to find a lawyer for him. His name is not on the birth certificate but she gave him our last name. He looks like his twin when he was three and if we didn't love him we would never have started babysitting for free. But i don't feel like she should get more money from him or us. Do you?

No, gender is not a factor with the laws.
She should not get any more money than
what the state dictates she should get for
child support.

You really really NEED to see a lawyer. Depending on what state you are in & how many months apart they are, she very well have committed statutory rape on the male "boy". That is a jail sentence for her. As, well it sounds like it should be. There are also.different laws on the legal age of concent. He may have not legally been old enough to actually agree to having sex. Again, a legal battle for her. Either way, a child is here now & paternity has not been established. So, in most states, he pays nothing until she proves thru DNA that he is the father, which opens a whole new can of worms for her, legally speaking. I would suggest, strongly that you quietly go see an attorney & find out legally where you stand here. This is an awful situation for a child to be born into but the child is here & as Grandparents you know things don't stop when your child turns 18. It's a lifetime deal. I truly think she may have broken some laws here due to the age difference & sometimes just having good strong legal advice is enough to make someone like her thinking twice about asking more from this family then they can give. Please seek some good counsel, it may lighten your shoulders a bit. The best to you.
