Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Parental entrapment?

My ex-wife got pregnant without my consent 10 years ago. I have been paying child support since and never missed payment. Although she did this without my knowledge, and having sex was a mutual choice, she knew I didn't want a child. I have had little to no influence on my child growing up, and she has made comments that I will always pay her. Is there any possible way to get out of this situation. Getting pregnant on purpose without the fathers opinion is kinda wrong and I am tired of being extorted.

Re: Parental entrapment?

What happened to you might not seem fair but the court will view you as a responsible biological parent. What you can do is try to stop the comments. This is not good for the child. You have a right to equal parenting and could bring this problem to mediation. Since you are going to be paying child support for the next eight years, you might want to nuture your relationship with your child.
