Teen Father Has Doubts

Dear Dr. Roberta,
My 19-year-old son has been told by his girlfriend that he is the father of her child. My son doesn’t think he is but is going along because he feels sorry for her and the baby. I think he’s heading for a lifetime of trouble. What can I do to help?

Dear Grandma?,

Get the name of a good lawyer who has access to DNA testing. When your son expresses a doubt send him for the test. It will determine if the child is his or not. Until that time, stay out of it as much as possible.
