My brother is married and has three children. He had an affair with a woman that produced a child. The baby was born a few months ago and the woman is taking my brother to court for child support. He never signed the birth certificate and wants a paternity test. The mistress gave the baby my brother's last name and has asked for her child to receive life insurance benefits, child support and health coverage. We suspect she's angry and trying to punish him, because my brother went back to his wife. The mistress makes over 100K a year and has told my brother she would not seek child support if he just came back to her. My brother has told her that if the child is his, he will step up to his responsibilities and pay child support, etc, but will never be with her. On the court pettition, she granted visitation, but my brother and his wife are now talking about joint/physical custody as they want to create harmony in the home and expose the child to his siblings (their children). My sister-in-law is incredible to agree to this after my brother did this to her. Does anyone know what the chances of my brother and his wife getting joint/physical custody where the baby would live one week on and off between the biological mother and my brother (putative father) and his wife. Also, how does this 50/50 split work in terms of child support payments? Thanks!
