I would argue that if you learn your child isn't yours later in life, when the kid has had a chance to actually see you as their father, you do still owe it to the child to stay in their life. Don't punish the kid for their mother's infidelity, is my stance. Divorce her if you want to but don't just suddenly stop loving the kid because they don't have half your DNA.
Hang on, I'm confused. Does she mean, like, you adopt a kid together, and then break up, you still have to help support the kid? Or if she cheats and gets pregnant, you still have to support the kid? Because if the first, yes. If the latter, of course not.
"Ladies, if financial records confirm his credit card debt is not yours, you still need to take responsibility for it. Men go through a lot in marriages, and men deserve better." (see how dumb that sounds.. yet, marriage makes you liable for each others debts in some cases).
If a woman cheats on her partner then he absolutely does NOT need to take responsibility, she does. It's different if the woman had a kid before they got together, then he knew what he was getting into.
Very situationally, where a women gets pregnant whilst openly dating multiple guys, then a guy might not care if the baby is his or not and raise it with her anyway. But in the general case, utter self-serving horseshit.
I mean she's gotta make the bed, put the kids into naptime, do the beast with two backs when boytoy arrives, shoo him out, clean and remake the bed, wash and fold the sheets and put them away...it's a lotta work being an entitled slut.
"Queen" Vivian? Capitalised "You"? "alot"? "responsibility _of_ the baby"? The bitch is barely literate, quite apart from raising more red flags than Tiananmen Square.
If it's adopted and you're willing, yeah, but if you even need a DNA test to begin with for a kid you and your girl have, that's a red flag lol, of it is some other dudes kid, you can take your cheating ass over to his house and he can take the responsibility of that lol
I think if you’re married and she has a baby from someone else, the custody does go to the husband. Not saying that’s morally right or wrong, or that it’s not correctable, just that she’s technically correct in some contexts.
NY state law. If a man raises a baby as his own, introduces baby to his family (grandparents aunts etc) as his child then later discovers he's not the biological father, he's still responsible for child support.
That's most states. If you catch the paternity issue quickly enough, then you can usually get off the hook. But if you raise the kid as your own, the state essentially assumes that you've adopted them regardless of paternity and hold all of the same responsibilities/obligations.
Haha. Mortality issues. I think you meant to set your time machine to the 50s but ended up here. Definitely punish that whore. Make her wear that scarlet letter.
No my father was not the biological father of my little sister nor was he on the birth cert. My parents got married after she was born as well. She was raised as his child alongside the rest of us we didn't even know until my paternal aunt got all uppity and spilled the beans like... 5 years after the divorce. Idk I think she was mad at my dad for something. It didn't change anything because she's still my sister and dad obviously didn't care.
If you're involved with this woman and wondering if you're exclusive then I have some bad news. Be like my wife reading a tweet from me "Ladies, if your fella gives you an STD you simply must forgive him and move on...cause you know, marriage is hard"
Even if you're not the biological father if your name is on the birth certificate you can be held liable as the 'legal father' and still be liable for child support. So always ask for paternity test.
Not in Ohio. Name on the birth cert doesn't mean a damn thing except a dude signed a piece of paper. If they're not married, he has no parental rights (or obligations) without a court order. Last I checked.
Typically a Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit (AOP) is filled out at the same time as the birth certificate and in Ohio if a woman is married before giving birth the husband is actually ASSUMED to be the 'legal father' unless contested within 60 days. Oh-paternity.com/faqs-english has more information.
I'd be pretty insulted if my husband asked for a paternity test for our kids. If you think she's cheating, sure. But just generally, it's an accusation that you think she's been sleeping around.
I was responding to a comment that said to "always" ask for a paternity test though. I'm saying it's not always appropriate. Obviously for a fling, it makes sense and no one should be insulted.
Even in a long-term relationship. You might find it insulting but for many men, it is one of their only chances to avoid further damage later in life. Unfortunately, men typically don't have many options for recourse. It is better to find out now and not 10 years later and be locked into child support payments for another man's child.
Not always. There have been multiple cases of women just straight-up lying on birth certificates and then when the man sues the judge will decide that it is against the child's interest to correct the birth certificate because the court agrees with the mother that the actual father would be unable to pay (due to jail or some such), so the court will decide that it is wrong to make a judgment against the child's best interest and dismiss the case.
If you look for articles on this, you find many examples of men being forced to pay for children they aren't related too. Many states have a short statute of limitations to contest paternity linked to the birthdate of the child.
The courts lean heavily in favor of the child's welfare. If you acted like the dad for any length of time - even though you were misled - that's often enough.
No, I'm not. Go google for it. Guys do a paternity test after the kid is born and look nothing like them, and the court still orders child support - frequently.
This. Never understood this. Her: "Yes, your honor, I fraudulently wrote this person's name on this 18 year contract without their knowledge which makes this legal and binding." Judge: "My judgment is in favor of the mother." Her: "It's your name, your honor."
the judgment is in favor of the child, the most vulnerable entity in the case. You could probably even win custody away from the woman of her own child if she's enough of a mess. That's your ultimate revenge right there.
Given how often even women that are complete messes get awarded sole custody, it's less likely than you think. The amount of child support is directly related to the % of custody, so with 50/50 custody nobody pays and with 0/100 custody one person pays that maximum amount. The state gets a cut of child support, so it's incentivised to get the maximum amount. (And add to that that often the amount of child support is based on what the State thinks you *could* earn rather than what you do earn...)
this is a myth and a misogynist fantasy. 50/50 custody is not hard to achieve. my brother has it with his first kid and his ex tried to throw abusive asshole violent bullshit labels at him during their settlement. this bullshit idea that the courts are just out to get dads is like a few decades old.
