I am going into website domain law and planning on filing a bunch of lawsuits against TD once I graduate.

Just realized I work with a guy whose daughter just started Loyola law with a full ride. I hope this isn't her.

It can be done. Be a man, step up and help make it work. no matter what happens with you and her, y'all will have that child together - be there for that kid regardless of what happens to you and the mom.

Adoption. There is a big market for white babies from non crack whore moms.

So my girlfriend is in her 1st year of law school and the news was dropped on me this week that she is pregnant. Has anyone had experience where they or their significant other went through school while pregnant and or raising a young child? Any advice.



Tell her to nut up. My wife lives 3 hours away from me and is in the middle of her breast surgery fellowship. She is 5 months pregnant. If she can do it then your girlfriend can do it.

My dad went to Loyola Law for night school, worked during the day, and came home after law school to my mom and my sister who was a little baby at the time. It is possible! Good luck

For Christ's sake don't say anything to him. OP is already on thin ice. If he outs his girlfriend's pregnancy to her dad, he's sunk.

I am not trying to knock her but I don't understand how a woman who is apparently very smart (full ride for law school) cannot have enough sense to prevent pregnancy. This is the era of accessible birth control and she is obviously pursuing a career. You have been with her for about a second and now you are bound for life. Sorry, end rant.
Look, I was adopted, as well as my sister and I am a big fan. I know most women don't have the capacity to carry a child and then give it up, but given the situation...
Whatever she decides (because, face it, men have no say so about their unborn children) I wish you the best of luck. Even if it doesn't work out with you and mom, and y'all keep the baby, be a good and present father. Kids need strong and decent parents.

Could you elaborate? That's an interesting way of putting it.

Just sign another guy's name on the back of the birth certificate and POOF... Presumption of paternity shifted to some new jack.

Napoleonic Code law #1256. Don't know how many kids I'd be saddled with if not for that one. They don't teach that one at 3rd tier Loyola.


This is not, however, legal advice.

Yeah, and I don't think it's good advice.

That said, if you two get married, OP, you are presumed to be the father.

FYI, back in the day ('81) a woman didn't have to put a father. my original bc had no named father. when my mom married my "dad" his name was added to a diff bc.
There is apparently a "live certificate of birth" and a "birth certificate " one is the modified version.

OP,

Take a deep breath. Everything will be okay. My wife and I had our first kid when I was in law school (Loyola law...they don't care if you're pregnant while you're enrolled, trust me). It was tough, but we did it because we loved each other and promised to each other that we would finish school (she was in grad school as well).

Yall should sit down and try to figure out a schedule for when the baby is due and she will be in school. Loyola offers a full set of evening classes which can be very helpful if you're working. And I know this is prob the last thing she wants to do, but the law school has some excellent counselors (religious and non religious) that can help her with this.

I PROMISE you she isn't the first one. They prob. have a game plan for situations like this.


You'll be fine. Stay calm and don't let her drop out.

How stupid does a new mother have to be to need nursing school to learn how to breastfeed?

Get new friends, she's very stupit.
