1 ANSWER
Having a baby does not by itself, cause a minor child to become emancipated. And the father of a minor child cannot be required to support a minor child after child is over 18, living independently and has children of her own? The reason for this is if she is over 18, living independently and has children of her own, she is no longer a minor.
