    Is your husband still seeing her / living with her?

    Is there any chance you and he will get back together?
  • Just wondering why on earth you are so interested and what actual business it is of yours!

    He's barely speaking to her, because of other things that have gone on he and I have moved with our kids 200 miles away.

    Replies to drama llamas should not feed them. So either there is no baby, or if there is, he's not going to see it. So why is she bothering to talk to him?

    If this woman is still pregnant and goes ahead and has the child then a dna test is the only surefire way of determining who the father is.

    As your husband and this woman are not married he wont automatically appear on the birth certificate or have parental rights. It would need for the mother to give permission for a dna test to take place.

    As you are no doubt painfully aware, you need to get the facts confirmed, most importantly for yours and your husbands peace of mind. Also though, if this woman chooses to contact the CSA and make maintenance claims, you want to know that the child your husband is being asked to support is his.

    I think it is awful when women mess men around like this. It causes all manner of avoidable heartache and stress. In cases where it has taken months to establish if a man is the father, this can be terribly detrimental to the bond being made with the baby and everyones emotional wellbeing.

    I wish you well OP.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
  • Oh sorry i obviously didnt read correctly, i read he was now your ex but since you have moved to get away from her then get him to change his number and have no more contact.

    If someone was to access her medical records they would be in one heck of a lot of trouble :eek:

    I hope no one would ever consider doing something like that!

    I'm not advising someone try it if they're in that capacity! Just factually speaking.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    Your question reads "can we find out..."

    I don't think "we" need to do anything.. Its really not anything to do with you. You have moved 200miles away.. How do you even happen to be involved to the point where you see this as "we"?

    Edit.. Confused.. Are you and hubby seperated.. Or together?

    Sorry for the confusion, yes we are seperated but still living under the same roof, No I understand it's nothing to do with me but he asked me to find out if there was any way he could find out the truth as I said we're stiill friends

    Do you and he want to get back together... Was this part of the reason you both moved away together..

    Tbh.. If you both are seperated from each other.. If one moves 200 miles away... The other doesn't go too..

    If your and hubby are going to make a go of it, he needs to change his number and cut the fruitloop out and make amends with you!
