if it was me, I'd still like to know who my kid is even if I had to pay child support

I think it's really shitty (sorry couldn't find a better term) of her to hide the fact that she had your baby six years ago and that she now decided to tell you.

Sorry dude that bites but you need to step up and be a dad now that you know about your kid.

#55: You're not wrong, but you're only right if it turns out this child is his. Six years is a long time and raises serious questions about the mother's judgment. OP should get a paternity test before he gets involved at all.

well now you know why she disappeared

#56: Wait, what? If you were pregnant with somebody's child, why would you disappear? What possible benefit could there be to not telling the OP about his child?

Some people are selfish and want to keep the child away from the other parent. I have seen it more than once and even been to court on behalf of my friend who was trying to get custody back from a manipulative ex.

#105: Well, I suppose I can't argue that some folks aren't stupid, ridiculous, and crazy.

59, there are reasons. Usually selfish ones, probably-makes-an-unfit-mother ones, but there are reasons. A few years ago, a friend of mine discovered that he had fathered a little girl his senior year. She was already 2 years old. As it turned out, the girl (who he only dated for two months) had used him to get pregnant and then dumped him when she got what she wanted. It wasn't that she thought he'd be a bad father, she just wanted to keep the baby to herself and not have to deal with another parent. Until she fell on hard times and decided she needed child support after all.

#41: Your guesses both hinge on her having been able to financially support this child entirely without the OP for all this time, which is uncommon--money is huge factor, and it doesn't make sense that she wouldn't have wanted child support payments until now. Also, if it took her six years to become mature enough to be able to tell the OP about the child, then I'd say she's nowhere near mature enough to be raising it. All said and done, I think it's a hell of a lot more likely that this is someone else's child, and now she's attempting to commit paternity fraud and make the OP support it. OP should be very suspicious that this is even his child.

Is your name Forrest Gump, possibly?

Seems a bit odd she'd wait 6 years to tell you, I think a paternity test is in order.

Saraishi 25

Six years and -then- she tells you? Sounds like she only did it because she needs something from you, otherwise she wouldn't have waited so long. You should definitely order a paternity test.

hahaha the username!.

Is she the mother ?

money isn't always an issue. if GF has a good or decent family that has helped with the baby, then she would have no need for child support.
