  • I had a tarot reading done by 2 highly regarded people, both said a child is in distance, but it isn't mine.

    Instead of a boring old scientific DNA test, perhaps you should examine the entrails of a frog, or cast stones into a pond to see if you're the father?
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Or if you look at more than the post you picked on, you would see I have made an effort but they have refused!

    In fairness they do not need to pay half, if you are found not to be the Father, then you will promptly get a refund anyway :beer:

    Would it be worth offering them the 50/50 on the DNA test (as you have already done) with the provisio that if/when you are proved to be the father you will repay their share.

    If they are sure you are the father then they'd have no reason not to agree with this

    Ths exactly what i offered Claire. They still refused because they paid foe 'one'.

    Dutr , i know what you mean too bit because of my stance and feelings from this situation I will not chase it.

    I know I made a mistake, but if a girl wants a dad for her child, she shouldn't lie through constantly and hold things back. She's made her bed now she has to layin it. Same way I may have to pay one day.

    Thanks again guys.
