Teenage and Pregnant? She may need legal assistance
Teenage and Pregnant? She may need legal assistance.
Although there are no laws that say when a teenager over 16 may become pregnant, there will be many times throughout the pregnancy where she will have to make 'legal' decisions. Sometimes she's on her own.
To understand this potentially bleak outlook a bit better, this episode of "In Conversation with Noel Cheer" on Triangle/Stratos Television features a Family Court lawyer, Leona McWilliam.
