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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
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
Today, I got served paperwork stating that my ex-fiancée is suing me again for child support. About 7 years ago, I proved via DNA testing within the court system that I was not the father the first time. I see a talk show in my future. FML
Today, I got a message from my ex saying how sorry he was for everything he did. He also said that if he wasn't getting married and having a kid we could still be together. We broke up a year ago. FML
Today, my ex called, saying she's 3 months pregnant. She seems to have forgotten that we haven't been in the same room, much less friends, in over a year. My dimwitted wife thinks the baby is mine. 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, I found out that, after a year of separation, my ex-wife is pregnant and due in a few months. The divorce became official a few weeks ago and the father is my former best friend. FML
Today, my ex showed up to pick up our kids in her brand new car. Last month child support doubled my amount because of a paperwork error. 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 realized that I got set up by my narcissistic ex-fiancée. She'd planned to get pregnant by me, did, then halfway way through the pregnancy put a restraining order on me, and went MIA. Now I don't know anything about my child. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

DNA test. That's a long time to hide this shit from you, it's super suspicious. If it is your kid, get some form of custody because the ex is obviously unstable.

I’m sure you want to do the right thing if that’s your kid. But 2 years is a long time to not tell someone they have a kid. They are either lying or thought it was the guy(s) after dating you. Get a DNA test. If the kid is yours you shouldn’t be responsible for the 2 years of child support, that’s on her. But you are responsible for future child support payments.

Definitely get a DNA test, but don't rely on how long she waited. There is such thing as retroactive child support, which can be made payable.

If she put OP's name on the birth certificate as the father he might already be stuck for child support if the birth state has a no-challenge presumption of truth. There's been at least one case in the U.S. where a man provably not the birth father was held liable for child support until the kid turns 18.

I worry about this almost daily for 9 months after breaking up with a girl. Yikes to think that some might keep it secrete even after birth.

I'd look into a "fixer" might be cheaper and way more satisfying than child support payments.

Yup, DNA test, and if it's not yours, counter-sue her for fraud and extortion. If it is yours, sue for full custody.
