Not The Father
by Distraut and Confused
I am in a funny situation. My situation is a little different, well it seems that way to me because I dont know where to begin to look for help. I am currently paying child support for a child that is not mine. My girlfriend at the time told me she was pregnant and that it was my child. I believed her of course because we had been together for awhile. Well after the baby was born and several years went by she came to me and said I was not the father and she had the real father tested and the test had positve results saying the other guy was the father. Since then I have not spoken or seen her and the child. I have no way of contacting them. Its seems as if she had vanished. But recently I got a letter from child support saying that I owe money for this child, and they have started paying her money. Well according to the law. I guess its my responsibility because I signed the birth certificate. So legally I am the father. But what bothers me the most is that she is taking my money to take care of her and the child and she is still with the real father. I don't agree with that at all. I have been trying to get this taken care of but for some reason I can't find her. Hopefully the courts will rule in my favor so that I can use my money to take care of my real family.
