For dads
A father's responsibility in Maine
Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? No. Maine's parentage and child support laws have no section that expressly makes the father pay pregnancy or birth expenses or child support before birth. Bills for prenatal care and childbirth can be used as evidence in a parentage case.
19-A M.R.S. ch. 61 (Maine Parentage Act, §§1831-1939), incl. §1913(4) and §1911(4); ch. 63 (child support guidelines, §2006(2) past support)
Maine DHHS, Office for Family Independence, Division of Support Enforcement and Recovery (Child Support Services): establish paternity and support
Call 207-624-4100 (Case Initiation Unit)For dads who want help being there: Fatherhood.gov, Call 1-877-432-3411
If you can't care for your baby
Safe haven: no one gets hurt, no questions asked
In Maine a parent can safely hand over a newborn up to Under 31 days old. Where: Law enforcement officers, emergency room staff, medical services providers, hospital staff, firefighters; facilities with a Safe Haven Baby Box.
24/7 Safe Haven line 1-888-510-2229Adoption is another loving option; a pregnancy center above can connect you with adoption help.
