For dads
A father's responsibility in Louisiana
Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? Yes. Since 2023 a mother can sue the biological father for 50% of her documented out-of-pocket pregnancy and birth medical costs, once he has acknowledged paternity or it has been proven; she must file within two years of the birth.

Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, Child Support Enforcement: establish paternity and support
