A girl I sorta dated 2 years ago has told me I am the father of her baby. I don't think I am because she slept with a lot of guys and she never told me I was the dad or asked me to take a DNA test until recently. I took the test 6 weeks ago and am supposed to get the results this week.

This could really screw my life up. With my studies at college and running I don't have time to be a dad. Plus, I don't really have enough money to pay my rent and eat as well as support a kid. I may sound like a jerk, but this is a bad time for me.

If I am the father will I have to pay support from the 1st day she was born? What if I give up my parental rights? If I do can I get out of paying?

If I am the dad is it a defense that she did not tell me for almost 2 years?

Have any of you had this problem?

re: I am (not) the father?

None of the above.

If DNA testing proves its your kid you are legally bound to pay child support. From day one. Till 21.

Get a lawyer and start saving up!

Wrong.

If the child is adopted, you are off the hook.

On the other side of the coin, this one has been trolled before. 1/10.

Maybe I was not clear I AM NOT GOING ON THE MAURY SHOW, I am just set to get the test results from court.

re: I am (not) the father?

you cant give up parental rights to a kid that was born to/living with its birth mother that is yours. sorry bro you gotta pay. also why 6 weeks to get the results? I took a test and it took less than one week through DNADiagnostics.

The test was court ordered and the lab says it will only release the results directly to the court. So I find out when I go back to court this week. My next court date was scheduled for 6 weeks after the date I was told to give a DNA sample.

I don't know why it took/takes so long other than maybe they are very busy or that was the next date the court could give me to come back.

re: Maury

That video is awesome.

Make sure you dance like that if the results come up negative. Oh nevermind you're a white distance runner.
