This was posted in 'another place'.  I have no immediate answers for the
poor woman other than an assumption that she's up shit creek AFA getting any
financial help from the Japanese father of her child - prove me wrong
please - oh, and she should have used a condom...but anyway...

Ms. R. asks
"For an unmarried foreign woman who is pregnant and planning to keep the
baby, I am hoping that someone can point me to information on what, if any,
legal obligations the man involved has.

He does not want the child, presumably will not acknowledge it in the family
register, and has indicated that he has no intention of providing any
support.

Is there any way to force him to pay child support? (I am not hopeful, but
thought I should ask.)"
