If it turns out you're wrong, and he can ask for a paternity test, I would be honest with him. I can't imagine having a baby and living a lie, knowing that any day this moron could come back into my life and demand to have a relationship with my child. My suggestion would be to tell him the child is his, but that you're offering him a "get out of jail free" card. If he will sign over the paternal rights to the child, so your husband can claim paternity, then you won't take him to court for child support. Be fair--make sure he is crystal clear about the fact that he is basically saying "it never happened", and no matter what he decides later on in life, he has no legal recourse. Hopefully he will jump at the chance to get off the hook, but if he has intentionally been making your life miserable, be prepared for him to claim paternity, just to continue that.

OK THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUG:

Now, I will continue with this as long as you do because I am an attorney and I don’t take lightly someone circumventing the law for their own personal gain.

So, are you going to stop this or not?
