My partner has chosen to continue her pregnancy

You’ll need to determine your level of involvement in this choice. The decision to commit (or not) is entirely yours.

One might ask:

  • Do I want to be a parent? Was this one of my possible projects?
  • What are my fears about parenthood?
  • What is my vision of parenthood?
  • How is my relationship with my partner? Do I want to be co-parent with this person?

In the event that the pregnant person chooses to go on to become a parent, it is possible to decide not to get involved.1. However, this requires a legal process under family law, and you’ll need to consult a lawyer about your rights, obligations and possible remedies in this decision. Contact a community justice center for more information or consult a lawyer.
