Q: How do i go about finding out if someone is pregnant with my child?
Long story short...We met, has sex on and off. She developed feelings, and i told her i didn't feel the same way. after that she told me she was 3 months pregnant. I was happy to have a child, but told here this isn't going to lead to a relationship between us. After that, it was downhill. Anger, hate, etc ensued and she said she'll never let me be the father of her child. 3 months prior to her telling me, she was involed with her EX. So i think she may be leading him to believe the baby is his, since he wasnt to be with her, and to avoid shame in her family i guess. May just as likely not be mine, but i need to know. If i have a child, i want to raise my child.
I contacted her arond the due date and she said she had a miscarriage, shes married, and for me to leave her alone. I searched public record, no marriage licenses showed up.
What do i need to do to find out whether she had a baby or not, married or not, and prove the paternity?
A: That's a bad situation. The only thing I could think of is to start a paternity case anyway and request that she produce her medical records that proves she had a miscarriage. That seems a little extreme, but most mothers do not deny having a child. If she does have a child, you can ask the judge to order her and the child to submit to a DNA test to prove whether the child is your or not. If she did have a miscarriage, then you can dismiss the case.
