I currently reside in PA. I have a wife & 2 children in Norwhich, CT.
We got married at a Justice of the Peace 12 or 13 years ago, we lived together for about 3 months and have been seperated since. Around that time two kids were born (2 girls). I waived my paternity test options/rights and have been paying child support since, with no interaction beyond domestic relations with them.
I saw recent pictures of the girls, and now have doubts to whether I am their father. I would like to have paternity established, and aslo find what can be done regarding our current marital status.
anulment/divorce/or is there something else that would be more appropriate for my current situation?
The questions:
If a paternity test resulted in me not being the father of either 1 or both of the girls, what recourse do I have financially and legaly?
Second - Being we virtually never lived as husband & wife is there something other then a divorce we can do to 'erase' this marriage?
I've called the domestic relations office and they pretty much stated paternity has already been established and that I need to find a lawyer. That task is in the works as well. But seeking preliminary information.
