What is the name of your state? Maryland
My husband and I recently got married a month ago. Before us becoming married, i knew of his situation. A year ago he was dating a woman and eventually they went there separate ways. A couple months later he gets a phone call from her husband (which he had no knowledge of). And couple a phone calls later, she states that she is 3 mos. preg and doesn't know who the father is. Last week she notified my husband that she had the baby a month ago and the paternity test that her and her husband took came back negative. They want, whoever the father is, to pay $800 a month in daycare while the husband handles the other day-to-day baby expenses. My husband and i decided that it would be best if he took a paternity test to see if he was the father. The results came back that my husband is the father of her child. (The baby also has her husband's last name) Someone told me that it was consider adultry on her part and he shouldn't have to do anything at all because he is not liable for the child because she is married. We haven't told the woman what the results are because we are now thinking that we don't want any part of the situation. If she does decide to take him to get (another) paternity test it will come from her money. My question is can my husband be liable for child support or even supporting the child with him not knowing that she was married when the baby was conceived? Will she also be held liable because of her adultry? Thanks!!!
