Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My estranged wife is having another man's baby!
My wife and I split up about 8 months ago, but have not filed for any legal separation or divorce. She is now 4 months pregnant by an ex friend of mine, whose divorce from the mother of his other two children is nearly final. I heard that I can be held financially responsible for my wife's baby with him because the baby will legally be considered to be a product of my wife's and my marriage - even though the last time I even saw my wife was 4 months before she became pregnant. Is it true that I can be legally and financially responsible for my wife's child that is a product of her adulterous relationship with another man?

Re: My estranged wife is having another man's baby!
The simple answer is -- yes, although you can request a DNA test after the child's birth to prove the child is not yours. You need a good family law attorney to help you. If you don't contest the child's paternity, it will be assumed you are the father of the child.
