No. I believe a one-night stand is something a couple can work out, but if it was a long time affair and a child came of it, then it would end in divorce.
i would tell the husband its 'me or her' and let him choose!!
Yes, but she can wait up to 18 years to file for retroactive child support. see related question
No, a man does not always get custody. If one of the people in a marriage has an affair, it is usually the person not having an affair that gets custody of the child or children.For example, if the husband is having an affair, and the wife wants a divorce, the woman (wife) would get the custody of the child or children, and not the man (husband). This is the same vice versa, too.
If your husband made one mistake in having an affair and has not cheated before that or after the affair then the child is part of him and also the biological mother. You have two options: #1 You can accept the child when and if he has custody of the child and make that child part of the whole family or #2 let him see his child if he wants too (he at least should pay child support) but see the child away from home. The decision will have to be discussed between you and your husband.
Your husband would need to go to the court of jurisdiction (where the child resides) and file a petition for termination of parental rights. However, it should be noted that in doing so, it will not relieve him of his child support obligations, only the right to visit the child or having any decision making input in the child's life. Child support may only be terminated if the child is placed for adoption or is adopted by the mother's spouse.
If this involves a case where the child is the result of an affair, and does not reside in a putative father state in which the husband would be the presumed father, he would not be served. see related article below
Leave him and her behind. If they wanted to be with each other they should have come to you and told you about their affair and not keep it in the dark. Seek a lawyers advice on divorce. Your marriage to me is not salvageable because of the length of the affair and the fact that there is now a love child involved.
Yes, it is. The child is an innocent bystander and has nothing to due with the irresponsible choices made by his/her parents.
If the man she had the affair with wants to know if it is his child then yes, a paternity test should be done. This will tell whether the husband or the man she had the affair with is the father. If the father of the child wants to be part of his child's life then arrangements should be made for visitation rights, but, he should agree to help support his own child even if she stays with her husband. He might agree to be called 'uncle' so the child will not know that is his biological father This is a difficult situation and it will take the three of you to agree as to what will happen tin the future. It is quite possible that the man she had the affair with my not want anything to do with the child. If the wife and husband feel they can work it out in their marriage they should certainly try.
He same if you did it instead. Most states are no fault.
If your husband has broken off the affair with the mistress then your husband should do the right thing and pay child support, but that does not mean you have to accept the child into the family. If the mistress does not want the child then it is up to you whether you want to help to raise that child. If your husband is still seeing his mistress then pack his bags and kick him out and either file for a separation or divorce.
