Q: What can I do if my ex says she has a child that is mine but never let me meet them and has blocked me?
I was dating a girl and she suddenly broke up with me and there was no communication. After 6 months she contacted me to tell me she was pregnant with my child and I ruined her life and she wanted nothing to do with me. I have tried to get in contact with her to meet my son however she has blocked me. I do not really know if the child is mine but it has caused me emotional distress thinking I have a son whose life I cannot be a part of. If he is my son, I want to have a relationship with him. I live in Florida and she lives in Georgia. What can I do?
A: The best way for you to force the issue is to bring a paternity case against her. You would probably need to go to court in Georgia where the child lives. Step one would be to request a DNA test and then go from there. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
