What to do if I just learned that my ex-girlfriend is pregnant with my child?

She is 15 weeks along. She just turned 18 and we broke up a little over a month ago. Now she is saying she is moving to another state with her current boyfriend. Not only is she taking away my child but she is leaving her entire support system for a new boyfriend with a questionable past. I am worried about the safety of my child. Is there anything I can do to prevent her from going? Do I have to wait until the child is born?

Until the child is born and you are determined to be the father of it via DNA testing there is nothing that you can legally do at this point in time. In the interim I suggest that you consult with a family law attoney to see what your legal recourse is when the child is born and how to go about it.
