This is interpretive, based on age and ability to earn an income, but most often, his parents are ordered to pay if he can't. Of interest, the boy can still be ordered to pay even in cases where he's the victim of statutory rape.

What rights do teen fathers have in Missouri?
In Missouri, teen fathers have the same legal rights and responsibilities as adult fathers, including the right to seek custody or visitation with their child. It is important for teen fathers to be involved in their child's life and to establish paternity if it has not already been done. Teen fathers may also be responsible for child support.
If you are a teen parent can you still collect child support?
Yes, either from the other teen parent, or the teen's parents, which can be either the teen mother or father, depending on which has court ordered custody. Child support may not be ordered if the teen parent has joint physical custody, which is best for the child.

Im a pregnant teen nd my mother says that if I give the child the fathers last name that the father automatically has to pay child support is that true?
It's not just a one-two-three thing, but if you are not married then yes, he does have to pay child support, but in order to make him start paying, a trip to court will be necessary. Call your attorney if you have one, or your local city hall if you don't. There should be someone there who can help you out.

I believe that depends on what state said teen parents live in...
Does your teen son have any rights to his child with teen girlfriend?
Yes, he does. It doesn't matter what age they are.... Every parent has a right to their child. Take it to court if that's how you think it should be settled. If they have a plan concerning when and where the child is with each parent, take it to mediation. But I won't tell you that the father won't have to pay child support. If he doesn't have custody.... Then he will have to pay child support. If they have shared custody... Well it's up to the mother if she wants child support or not. Mediation can settle that. Court will determine it.

Can your mom make you put the baby up for adoption?
In almost all states the answer is no, a parent cannot force their pregnant teen into adoption. However, the teen is 100% responsible for the child, in all respects including financially. In some states becoming a parent makes the teen a " legal adult" which means the teen's parents no longer have to support her or her child.
