Q: Wife and kid that isnt mine
I have ben with my wife for almost 6 years but only married 7 months. We have a 2year old who was born before we were married. I just done a DNA test because of some messages I found and it came back to i am not the father. My name is on birth certificate bc i was aware it was my child. I know if i stay i will be taking responsibility of the child. If i leave now will i be able to get off the birth certificate so i do not get taken to court for child support on a kid that isnt mine. How much do i favor in getting away from it all.
A: First, you must hire a very good lawyer (and this will not be cheap). Then, the attorney will probably file papers with the court to disestablish paternity. If you do not do this ASAP, you could be on child support for a child that is not even your child. Good luck!
