What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
First off please pass no judgment. I am here for some direction and guidance and legal assistance free or paid. My story is not going to sit well with some so if you are condemning please move forward to the next post.
The situation is as follows. I was with a women 20+ years ago. I worked allot and she strayed while I worked. She had numerous affairs but since we lived together she still came home slept in the same bed etc... This went on for along time. It turned out she ended up pregnant during one of the times she left me for another guy but still live at my house. She seen this guy for over a month and was sexually active with him. During this time she was with him she got pregnant. The caveat here i slept with her ONCE during her month and a half trist with this guy. After the trist fell through she told me how sorry she was and that she was pregnant and it was mine. Well there is a very very very small chance it was mine since I did sleep with her once but I seriously doubted it as she was on birth control when I slept with her and she ran out when she was sleeping with him for over a month and she never got the birth control refilled. Long into short here, I decided I wanted to try and make it work with her. I was with her already and she lived with me and now she was pregnant and had no where to go. I stayed with her during her pregnancy and she had the baby and even though I was 99% positive the baby was not mine I signed my name to the birth certificate.
I helped her raise the baby always been distant not very involved with the baby because I knew I was raising someone else's baby. But I still provided. Many many years latter we got divorced because she still was cheating, lying and now stealing. Last 5 years we were together she was hardly around.
Now here is where the odd part comes in that I need help with. It turns out during my hard times with the divorce and everything I went through the last few years. Me and her daughter got close. We have been together as a couple for awhile now and have fallen deeply in love. We want to get married and I want to adopt her kids and we want to raise the family together as husband and wife. Problem is the women I am in love with, I signed my name to her birth certificate when she was born. So legally the system see us as father and daughter which is not true in reality just on paper. But still prevents us from getting a marriage license.
We need help and advise on how we can legally get married. What can we do to make it so we are no longer viewed as father and daughter to the legal system so we can get our marriage license and make our dreams come true. There has to be a way. There has to be! HELP PLEASE!
