VIC pregnancy with a stranger

[Johnj]

hi, I met a woman recently. she is a single mother of 6 yrs old. We straight away went onto unprotected sex on the first meeting, and then second one after 2 weeks, last night. I started sensing she wants to get pregnant and is not willing to take a contraceptive pill. What are my options if she get pregnant? Thank you.

Marry her and/or pay child support for 18 years, or go overseas.

Not many good options 2 weeks into a relationship.

Exactly what @Rod said.
Going by what you have said here, there are no circumstances where you would not be liable to pay Child Support.
And no, there are no circumstances where you could compel her to discontinue a pregnancy.
--> Whatever happens next is all, and only, on you.

You should probably have an honest and direct conversation with her as soon as possible about expectations, contraception, and what both of you want moving forward. Since unprotected sex already happened, there is always a possibility of pregnancy, so avoiding the topic will only create more stress and confusion later.

If pregnancy is suspected, using a home pregnancy test kit early on can at least help confirm the situation before making any decisions. After that, it’s important for both people involved to discuss responsibilities, legal considerations, and future plans calmly and respectfully.

Going forward, it’s also a good reminder that relying on assumptions during casual or new relationships can lead to difficult situations, so clear communication and protection are really important for both partners.
