Meade asks: “If an adult female teacher becomes pregnant by her 14 year-old student, is he obligated to pay child support until the baby turns 18? If so, does his obligation begin upon birth of the baby or upon he himself gaining legal adult status?”

There have been cases like this, and yes, the child has been required to pay child support. BTW, child support termination varies by state, from 18 up to 23 in some places. Try to imagine graduating from high school and realizing that for the next 19 years you will be paying a third of your net income to a sexual predator. Isn’t the law wonderful?
