A male reader, anonymous, writes (20 February 2008):

I'm gonna go out a limb here. If she and the 'ex' as you put it are divorced then the answer is different than if they were only seperated (your words, but you call him an ex, please clarify).

If they are divorced, even if they are back together now, then you can sue in court and if proven to be yours, get paternity rights, and PAY child support. You will probably cause a lot of dissention in their and the childs lives, so think carefully about this. If, however, they were only seperated, and are not divorced, then you have absolutly NO rights whatsoever. In the eyes of the law, the child is his, and no judge would ever grant a court order for DNA testing and disrupt a marriage. They could actually sue you for defamation and harrassment and all kinds of stuff. Not to mention you'd look like a real jerk for coming between a man and his wife, even if you were with her at some point.

There's my 2 answers. Take action accordingly, but AFTER much thought.

Good Luck.

If you are 100% sure the child is yours, get a DNA test done.

If you are the dad you most certainly do have rights no matter what she or her ex hubby has to say.

Ahh, you need to get a court order for a DNA test. If the baby is yours....then you have plenty of rights regardless of what she says.
