I'm 16 and pregnant. My dad said he will no longer pay child support for me and says he will take money out of what he gives my mom for my brother and sister until he has back the money he has already paid since I got pregnant. Can he really do that?

If your father stops paying support ordered by the court he will be in contempt and the arrears will be charged to him and he will owe it until it is paid regardless of whether you are 18 or not. It sounds like he is angry and probably hurt, if you had a good relationship before give him a chance to absorb the news.
