Possible interesting legal questions:

Is the production company liable for negligence in its role - creating the kid as part of a paid professional act? And if so, who can collect? Mom? Kid?

What about the Dad? Can he transfer all or part of his financial obligation to the production company and/or its officers?

Can an actor forced to take a paternity test sue for damages for negative impact on his personal life or livelihood?

Is Mom covered by Workman's comp - in NY giving birth is a 4 or 6 week paid disability. A disability caused by a work related activity is covered by Workman's Compensation.



We are actually working on this exact type of shoot as I've had a few non-pro chicks with ages from 27 - 35 contact me wanting to get knocked up in a blaze of glory... on a porn set. Hopefully over the next couple of months it will bear fruit and we'll get to shoot some bitches getting creamed.

As far as the legal aspects go... As long as the chicks sign a waiver along with the rest of the paperwork indemnifying the studio, crew and cast - there is no payout ***IF*** she was a paid model consenting to the shoot. Also, there is no paid maternity since the talent is on 1099 independent contractor status.

Since going over this issue for the purpose of shooting a bareback scene, I think every studio should get a waiver for any shoot where condoms are not used because who knows if these goofy porn chicks can actually remember to take their birth control.
