}}Your relationship may have been brief, but if you and your boyfriend or girlfriend have had a child together, you are both responsible for meeting the child's financial needs and you both may have ~~the right~~ to participate in raising the child. ~~Paying~~ child support ~~is an obligation that~~ comes from being a parent, ~~but actually~~ parenting a child is ~~a privilege~~, ~~not a right~~.

}}Your relationship may have been brief, but if you and your boyfriend or girlfriend have had a child together, you are both responsible for meeting the child's financial needs and you both may have an entitlement to participate in raising the child. Although the obligation to pay child support comes from the simple fact of being a parent, whether you meant to be a parent or not, being a parent doesn't come with the right to be involved in parenting a child. It is the ''child's'' right to benefit from the payment of child support and the ''child's'' right to be parented properly, to be provided with food, shelter, healthcare and clothing, and to be nurtured toward adulthood in the best way possible.

This section is for unmarried people who have had a child but ~~who~~ never lived together, and, as result, are ~~not~~ spouses. It talks about the legal issues unmarried parents may have to deal with and those they don't, and discusses the two most common issues ~~couples like this~~ have to deal with: child support and ~~the care of~~ children.

Children have these rights whether their parents are married, living together in a marriage-like relationship or have no relationship with each other at all. This section is for unmarried people who have had a child but never lived together, and, as result, are don't qualify as "spouses" under the ''Family Law Act''. It talks about the legal issues unmarried parents may have to deal with and those they don't, and discusses the two most common issues parents have to deal with, child support and parenting children.
