I'm in grad school and am on the verge of making more than that, but she's a film studies major (not even done with it yet...) so any salary I make will be cut in half. She also has piles of loans that I don't want to even think about. I hate to be so shallow and only think about money, but it's really important to me because I could get fucked out of a lot of it (although I do understand this is a result of my own actions, so really, I'm just fucking myself). Her living situation with her parents is really unstable, and I'm getting super paranoid about her trying to get pregnant so she can leech off of me. When she told me the other day, I looked deeply into her eyes, and I didn't see fear or regret, it seemed like she was satisfied with what was happening. I haven't expressed any of these suspicions to her.
Can someone explain the financial implications of this baby, and potentially child support if we do get separated?
Also, if this baby is not mine (very very unlikely) and I sign the birth certificate, does that mean I'm legally bound to the child even if it isn't mine? I was talking to some friends last night and someone mentioned something like that...
Edit: Adoptions is not something she is interested in either. She wants to have the baby and raise it too.
Edit2: Thanks for the comments. And there is still a part of me that wants to do the right thing and see this through...
Edit3: One of the worst parts about this is how my parents are very against this. It's really going to wreck our relationship.
