Paternity test should be mandatory at the birth of every child. It sounds like this chick was just baby trapping him. Part of the reason I believe that dude should get a vasectomy as young as possible. And then get it reversed if you want to have children.

Here are the FACTS based on the LAW: If you have enough reason to suspect that your wife is pregnant with a child who isn’t yours, an attorney can help you establish your grounds for adultery. When it comes to proving this, you have a few options: You have a paternity test with an accuracy of at least 98 percent Proof of cohabitation, adultery, and enough circumstantial evidence to support your claim IF you divorce your wife on the grounds of adultery, the same will be mentioned in the final divorce order.

I was in the same situation. He beat me just once. I wouldn't give him a chance to do it again. He wouldn't move out, so, I did. A few people offered to let me stay with them until I could get my own place. It seemed like a bad idea to me. As an adult, I knew what I had to do. It was very difficult at first, I made it on my own.

[@fauxbro1983]

Consult an attorney and 2nd, get a paternity test on the child. the fact that she's about to bail and the kids only a year and a half, makes me feel that she's feeling some intense emotional "guilt" over something.

[@skeletorrocks2452]

Well when she has a steady baby payment coming in through child support. She can actually go back to the dude that knocked her up. Seriously there should be mandatory double or triple paternity test at the birth of every child. And you could solve a lot of these problems if dudes just got vasectomies as early as possible. Then just get it reversed if you really want to have kids. Poverty could be ended outright if we just stop letting women have control over the issue.

Sometimes it doesn't take two to break a relationship. Sometimes it only takes one. I also agree with the commenter who said you should get a paternity test. The time for being a nice guy is over. Protect yourself and protect your child, assuming it's really your child.

Young man, work on yourself. You knew what to do, yet you were seeking permission from an external source. A husband must seek within and have the confidence to stand by his convictions. Women need this kind of leadership, if they can push back, they will. But women thrive with leadership. If you don’t lead her, her boss will, her male friend will, her masculine female friends will. Rise up young man, love God, love yourself, then you can truly love her. If that fails, then she didn’t love herself.

The husband getting child support is a tall order. The family courts are stacked against guys.

One of his biggest downfalls is when the woman is at fault. If the roles were reversed he would be telling the woman to take him to the cleaners. Notice he isn’t telling him to do the same.

This is why you choose wisely who you marry (if you get married). Dave never has answers for these calls ever but seems to have answers for everything else…

Then it got to the point she left but wanted to spend weekends at the house as it is on a pond. They did for a while with him leaving and her coming to visit. Finally he moved his girlfriend and her kids in to keep his ex from coming over. Finally it sold and they each was able to move on but oh my word

My buddy went through this. He caught his wife cheating and she quit paying the bill, quit her job, and became a couch potatoe in their home.

In the other the husband won't leave; I've talked with her a little more and she doesn't think her husband could take care of himself -- she thinks he'd end up homeless. So they're both supporting ex-s. I had all sisters. It was assumed we'd marry, "but just in case you need a skill to earn a living." Carole became a Home Economics teacher then an upper class home decorator, I became a librarian, and Connie a beautician and then a social worker. I never married, but while both my sisters married, they both ended up divorced. You never know what's going to happen and education is never wasted.
