PLEASE help w/divorce+baby+birth record

[Mansfield_chick]

I got divorced back in June 2008 and little did I know that my ex-wife was pregnant at the time and she had a child a 3-4 months after the divorce. She quickly re-married 3 months after the divorce to try to hide the child from me. She cut off all communication to all of our friends and family members. I want to see a birth certificate that way I can have proof to take her to court and get custody of my child. Please help & if anyone can offer up any ideas on how to go about this situation please comment or send me an IM. God Bless.

Does anyone work for or know anyone that works for the Tarrant County Courthouse or Arlington Memorial Hospital ?

I would say contact a lawyer, and ask for a dna test. That way you will know for sure if you are the father or not. I wish you the best.

If she remarried before the baby was born, its probable that the birth certificate has the new husbands name as the father.

I don't understand how you think seeing a birth certificate will give you any proof that the child is yours, she could have her current husband listed as the father or she very well could have put "unknown" for the name of the father.

Is it possible that HE truly is the father and that she was having an affair prior to your divorce?? Something to think about. Remarrying 3 months after a divorce is pretty quick, one has to think that after going through a marriage that fell apart and ended in a divorce that the person wouldn't be too gung ho to jump into a marriage where she only knew the man for 3 months or so. My gut says she was having an affair with the man she married and that the child is his.

If you really believe that this child is yours, my only suggestion would be to contact a lawyer that practices family law.

I was told she was having an affair behind my back, but I just want proof for myself cause its hard to believe she really had a child a few months after the divorce. I really dont have the money to go back to court again.

Sounds like a tough situation for you to be in. I'm sorry, but this is not an issue that members of Allnurses need to get involved in or advise you on.

Best of luck with everything.
