According to Article 1884 of the Civil Code, the future father is required to provide financial support to the mother during the pregnancy period and also for the first year of the child's life.
However, it is not uncommon for future parents to become incompatible, especially if they are not married or in a de facto union. In some cases, the future father may not want to take responsibility, forcing the mother to bear all the costs related to the pregnancy and birth alone.
In cases where there is no agreement on sharing the expenses related to pregnancy and birth, the future mother should initiate legal action against the future father in order to establish a financial amount for support during the pregnancy.
The financial support established for the mother during pregnancy is intended to contribute to the future father's share of expenses, such as medical consultations, pregnancy exams, special food for the mother, and other expected costs for the well-being of both the mother and the baby.
