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. The court will usually NOT impose permanent alimony in the event of a finding of adultery. MOREOVER, if your wife is pregnant with someone else’s child, the court may not impose child support depending on the circumstances and whether you are able to establish that you are not the father.

Sometimes in life bad things happen to us. Really bad things. And when they do, what you do is -- hold your head high and walk away from it with the most dignity and kindness that you can.

The husband getting child support is a tall order. The family courts are stacked against guys. Most cases where I've known the dad, unless the wife is on drugs and going to jail, the mother gets custody... that's even when she doesn't have a job or a place to live. But it is ruled this way in "the best situation for the child. "

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.

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.

I've two friends like this. One's wife won't move out, NOR her mother. 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.
