In the state of PA if a pregnant teenage child is NOT emancipated either by a judge or a state agency (if the child does not require state/federal assistance); then they are still responsible for child support. It's actually not as easy as one might believe to relinquish parental rights in PA. In fact, these scenarios could actually occur, and HAVE occurred:
1. If the non-custodial parent is providing child support for a pregnant teenager, then they are still liable for the child support until:
a.) child is emancipated by judge state agency
b.) child graduates HS and reaches majority at age 18 (whichever is the latter.)
c.) custodial parent marries, non-custodial signs over rights, and new husband adopts child.
2. If the non-custodial parent is providing child support to a child that gets someone else pregnant, they could ALSO be financially obligated to provide support to their grandchild if the mother of said grandchild requires state/federal assistance until their son:
a) gets emancipated by judge or state agency
b.) graduates HS or reaches majority (whichever is the latter.)
c.) custodial parent marries, non-custodial signs over rights, and new husband adopts child.

If you live in the US... Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a minor. Therefore, the minor's parents are still responsible for supporting them (but not for supporting the minor's child), and the child support must still be paid.
