Dear fefe:

Greetings. Go to Child Support Enforcement. They will ensure that he pays. He can petition for a paternity test, which they will supply, and when it comes back that he is Daddy, he will also have to pay. Best of luck.

Ok, I’m gonna try and make it simple. A woman gets pregnant by another man during a separation from her husband. She gets a divorce, then has the child, and then marries the supposed “father” of the child. The birth certificate never had the father’s name on it, I guess because at the time of birth, she had a different last name, they weren’t married, and maybe he wasn’t 100% sure he was the father. So now THEY are separated, he is living with his first wife, and since the birth certificate never had the father’s name listed, he says his name isn’t on the birth certificate, and the child isn’t his, so he is not going to pay any child support. They were married for about 3 years. Can he be made to take a paternity test? What is someone to do in this case?

Thanks!
