Today, I found out that I'm a dad. My ex from 8 years ago contacted me through facebook. I'm happy I have a kid, but apparently she only contacted me because she wants me to start paying child support, now her boyfriend who provided for them left. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex started to talk to me again after 3 years. I've been in an amazing relationship for the last 2 years. She let me know she is taking me to court for child support. I didn't even know I had a kid. FML
Today, my ex-wife's kids, who I dumped alongside her and completely cut ties with when I found out they weren't mine, found me on social media. FML
Today, I found out that my ex is expecting another kid. Not only is this a man who tried to hook up with me last month, he's also the one who, when I asked him to pay child support for our two, told me that he could just "make some more". Guess he was right. FML
Today, to my horror, I discovered I will owe child support for the kids my ex and I adopted together since she couldn't have any. I've met someone else and I'm planning on having real kids with her, but these payments will destroy everything. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-husband just had a baby with his new partner. We only split up a week ago. FML
Today, I found out my ex-wife (who I have kids with) is now pregnant with another guy's twin babies. We have only been divorced a couple of months. FML
Today, I found out I have a daughter. How did I find out? She added me on Facebook. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my father who left my family over 10 years ago and never contacted us or paid child support, poked me on Facebook. FML
Today, after a few years of not feeling ready since my daughter born, I went to my ex's apartment to tell her I am ready to be a dad. Turns out she moved out, two years ago, and left me forwarding address for me. I tried calling her phone. The number was disconnected. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

ask for a dna-test. she seems crazy enough to make up the story to get some extra money.

Women like that are not making other single moms look good with the 'money hungry' stereotype that's growing these days....

Make sure the kid is yours 1st.

You have rights find out what they are! I would venture a guess if you started paying her without a some sort of Paternity test you may be legally required to continue even if the child is found not to be your offspring! Demand a Paternity test before handing over a penny! On the other hand if the child is yours do everything you can within your financial situation, don't be another dead beat. Assuming he is your offspring do whatever it takes to build the bond! Don't lie to him tell him the truth, kids are very resilient! Good luck do the right thing

some laws prevent hitting up money if you aren't on the birth certificate in 2 yrs. I'd still get a DNA test, this is a common scam. and take her to court. she stole 8 yrs with your kid from you, and gawd knows what she's taught/ told the kid

you're not legally obligated to pay in that situation. legal precedence would continue to hold the ex boyfriend, if anyone, liable for support since he had assumed the role of father to the child
