No, I'm not a lawyer...but I have been dealing with a woman like your wife for many years. (Husbands ex)So he moved out, now what about the baby? Since you aren't the babies father, you need to contest paternity immediately or you will be stuck forever (according to VA laws) paying for a child that is not yours. You need a lawyer..I'm not sure if this allowed on this forum, but if you don't have one already, I recommend Fran Russell of Williams, Mullen, Clark and Dobbins in VAB. I recommend her to YOU in particular because she will *tell you like is*. She will even yell at you, which I think you need right now. *LOL* Even if you just spend the 50-75 for a consult with this lawyer. And I'm not saying that be rude....but I'm worried about you... perhaps I'm wrong but I'm getting a little sympathy for her out of your post, DO NOT BE FOOLED!! I don't care how pitful she makes herself out to be, how scared ect. You take her back and sir that will be the worst mistake you ever made in your life. This is NOT the woman for you and she has made that perfectly clear. Get her to refinance then run!!!!!! You are far better off being in misery for a few months until you get over her then spending 18 years dealing with someone who couldn't give a cats hair about you. Your goal, to be HAPPY...she does not fit into this picture.
Sorry for rambling....3 years 8 months and 10 days until my husbands bitty is no longer in our lives..and yuppers, he is paying for child that isn't his.
Good Luck!
