Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina
How do we protect ourselves after husband's affair, mistress claiming she's preg
My husband had an ongoing affair for the last two months and has come clean to me and ended it, but his mistress, who is also married but legally separated, won't leave us alone claiming she is pregnant. She doesn't want or need any money. What can we do to protect ourselves? She is asking for all kind of information (family history, blood type, etc.). Should we wait until she has proof of the pregnancy to give her this information or do we have to give it to her at all?

Re: How do we protect ourselves after husband's affair, mistress claiming she's
I would not divulge any information to her at this point. You should wait and see if she is pregnant, then if she is, and she eventually has the baby, then it will be time to make decisions. DNA tests are used to determine paternaty if it gets that far. At that point he should retain counsel, because he may be entitled to custody if he is the father, or child support may be an issue. Until, then, I would not discuss those issues with her. You do not have to give her any information. If she is pregnant, the child may not be your husband's. Remember, those who do it with you, usually, will do it with another.
