My friend's wife just had my baby!?
Find answers to your legal question.





My friend's wife just had my baby!?

Serious answers only please.

Don't ask how this happened, we're honestly not quite sure. Let's just say about a year ago - an Reo Speedwagon concert, a shared hotel room and a lot of alcohol were involved.

Then along comes a beautiful baby girl that looks more and more like me as the days go by. Uh oh.

Anyway, none of us have ever been unfaithful or would ever consider cheating. But our collectively hazy recall of the events of that particular evening have left us in agreement ... it is possible.

We are all adults. We will remain friends and our marriages are not in jeopardy. We can live with the consequences. So, here are the questions:

Should we get a paternity test, or just leave well enough alone? Should this just be a skeleton in the closet, or would we be better off knowing the truth?

I'm happy enough just remaining "Uncle", but we just can't agree on whether or not we want to know the truth.

Thoughts?

take the test. you might not care now, but some day in the future you might want to know if that is really your daughter and not just your niece

So you "Can't fight this feeling anymore" "Forgotten what you started fighting for"


"BABY I can't fight this feeling anymore"


EVEN BETTER: you should take the paternity test but "Take It On The Run" baby!

I would do it - the baby may need a medical history in the future..... if you are involved, then you need to know.... if not, then it will be one less thing you have to worry about

I think it would be fair to the child to know who the real father is.

Even if shes not aware until shes older.

I would get the truth out. Someday one of you may want to know, and this way you wont have to drudge it up then.

However, dont be surprised if your obligations change and your family life as well.

Get the paternity test. If you look that much like the kid then she'll be asking questions when she grows up and realizes how much she looks like you.

Wow, sounds like a fun night (Roll with the Changes!)!! Too bad you don't remember more, sounds like you had a lot of fun. Was your wife there too? Probably better to just let it go. Will it change anything if you know? Tough call, good luck!

if u stay friends with this women and her husband
there will probably come a day when the girl will say i look a lot like my uncle and nothing like my dad

if i were u
to not cause and problems i would move away or just not contact those people
does the husband know if he doesnt and he finds out ur dead

I would personally leave it alone!

If you are still going to remain friends and for some reason if the child serioulsy gets hurt and medical history needs to be given at that time step up. Other than that you made a mistake and there is no reason in stirring a pot that may not need to be stirred up.

If you are going to spend the rest of your life wondering though and can't let it go get a Paternity test but be rady for it not to be yours and tempers be flying or for it to be yours and tempers flying. Either way someone is going to be mad!

Well if it doesn't bother any of you, don't take the test. It might do more harm than good... The only reason it MIGHT be good to take the test, is if god forbid, something medical ever happened with the kid and they needed a blood relative for something..... Might be good to know then...

Do a DNA test. The child needs to have a father. If your wife knows what happened the I don't see what you are waiting on. If you don't do the test it will always be in the back of your mind wondering if the child is yours. Do the test and give everybody some closure.

yikes! Well, you all KNOW that it is possible and will be a burning question in all of your minds for all of time. So, the question isnt exactly "should we", but "when should we". It will happen eventually.

What you don't know won't hurt you. But on the other hand, you have more people to consider. Your spouses, and the child. Just hope that nothing comes up when she needs some blood from the father. You may be in trouble. That's a tough call, but I will say keep it a secret for now. If your friend ever found out, he may kill you. I know I would. It hurts more when its your friend, that know you.

I would get the paternity test because of medical reasons later on. If you as a group don't want to know, don't have the results sent to you, have them forwarded to the child's doctor. Biological parents aren't always available to be in a child's life, so the fact that you want to be involved even if it's not as the Dad, is fantastic. Good Luck to all of you and Congratulations on the beautiful baby.

wehre you guys alone? Why? in a hotel room? Maybe somehting was going on before this?


G* gUrl
OH OH, THAT DOES SOUND LIKE TROUBLE... I THINK FOR YOUR OWN PEACE OF MIND TAKE A DNA TEST EVEN THOUGH THE RESULTS MIGHT SAY WHAT YOU'RE ALREADY THINKING, IT'S BETTER TO KNOW THAN REMAIN IGNORANT BECAUSE THAT WILL NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY, IT'S JUST GOING TO TORMENT YOU UNTIL YOU SAY SOMETHING OR DO SOMETHING, SO GOOD LUCK AND HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS OUT FOR THE BEST...

Oh wow. That's frightening.

You should probably find out. The truth hurts sometimes, but it's always better to know.

liv tyler........................ she didnt know 4 yrs and she was ok. let it rest for now.

Dude I would do a paternity test just to be sure. Better to know for sure without a doubt than having that hanging over your head for the rest of your life.

And how much alcohol was involved, jeez


Jess ♥Happy to Be Mrs. G♥
It's going to eat away at you forever if you don't find out the truth. Take the test.

what is in the best interest of the child? I think your medical history now belongs to her, in a sense, if you are the father.

Maybe it is best while she is young to pin down the paternity for her sake-- then the adults can go on as they wish without having a big unknown hanging over them. It could become harder to live with over time, mysteries often do.

If an urgent medical situation arose, her biological family might be needed to help her, and everyone should know ahead of time who they are.

The answer is............... the TRUTH
Get a test, and be a dad if you are. If not, you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life for not being honest to your daughter and always wondering.


Marilyn P
baloney, own up to it, get the test, this isn't just about you the child has the right to know, even drunk you know if you were with her.


MM
Until you can all agree and know exactly how you want to handle things if your suspicions are confirmed, and unless there's some serious issue in your family's medical history that needs tracking, I'd leave it be. If the kid notices the resemblance too and is curious, she can make the choice when she's old enough.

be a man.you did it so face it.take the test so you wont die not knowing the truth.

oh dear, you poor things, sounds as though it was just a fun idea that has backfired...
would it really change anything? as long as the child is loved and looked after, which sounds as though she is, what is the point?
do you want to step up and be the real father?
in years to come will you tell the child what you all thought and upset her and make her think her whole chilhood was a lie?
i think you all need to sit down and have a good discussion..
i wish you all the best xxx

Wow, what a story. I would want to know the truth. You can still remain the "uncle" but my curiosity would kill me.

You people are twisted "uncle" that could be your baby and your acting like it ain't no thing.

What is wrong with you? If that's your kid don't you want to have a father daughter relationship?

If you even have to ask what the right thing to do is then let the other man raise the child as his own. She probably be better of that way.
