Quote From: joykleinI think men in these circumstances should be able to sue these women for fraud. It's no different than someone misrepresenting themselves as an investor and then bilking innocent people of hard earned money. That's a crime punishable by jail and fines, as it should be for these women. No one can put a price on the emotional and mental stress their dishonesty causes but they should still be held liable legally. Women who've done this to men AND their children...SHAME ON YOU! Men who've gone through this...I'm terribly sorry and hope you can some day find peace.
I say shame on all three of you for the way you have handled this. First, the wife (mother) of this young
girl. You lied and deceived your husband. You were totally wrong to have an affair outside your marriage. I feel that no matter who or what the circumstances, you should end one relationship before you start another. Tie up any loose ends before moving on. But then you lied to your husband when you brought this new little one into the world. He loved that child like his own. When the marriage did eventually end, and he found out she wasn't his, he was hurt and rightfully so. Then it became anger, and when his new wife got involved it just magnified everything. When someone is hurt so deeply it becomes very difficult to see and think things through clearly and rationally. His new wife should have thought about that child and the fact that she had been "his" for 10 years and encouraged him to keep the relationship with her whether he paid child support or not. She knew he had these children and would be paying child support when she married him. He could have then petitioned the court about whether he paid child support for her or not. I think if it were not court order for him to pay and he kept the relationship with the child he would most likely be much more willing to and probably want to shower her with the things she needs and wanted. What's wrong with her mother getting a job to support her "love child". She seems to feel she is entitled to child support because he loved the child for 10 years. Does he owe her (the mom) child support for this child more than she owed him the truth about the paternity of said child? Perhaps if it discouraged this type of situation, maybe a man should be able to sue the woman for her deceit and emotional cruelty. It works both ways folks!
