Who would be guardian of the child my 16 year old is pregnant with?
Full Question:
This question is about my 16 year old step daughter. In the divorce she was to split her time equally between her mom and dad. However, she has decided to live full time with her dad without changing legal documents. Her mother claims her on taxes and her ex-husband is directed to pay child support directly to the mother. The 16 year old is pregnant. She will continue to live with us(dad and step mother). Who is the guardian of the grandchild? The 16 year old isn't allowed to check herself out of school to go to her own doctor appointments; so, how will she care for a sick child if need be? Also, who claims the infant on taxes?
