I am a singer / songwriter who has written and preformed several original songs on my YouTube channel. I have also recorded the songs onto CD's and given them out to relatives. This was about 5 yrs ago. I have never gone through the process of filing copyright applications with the Gov't. I...

Exactly right, Army Judge. When I met her, she was living with a friend near my house, with absolutely no evidence of being married. A few weeks later, she tells me she is married, but going through a divorce. Then she tells me she is pregnant, and the kid is mine. All this in a few weeks time...

I understand the fact that private DNA tests do not establish custody / paternal rights, etc, but if a good quality test comes back negative, why pursue it in the courts?

She had the baby recently. It was premature, but apparently is healthy and doing well, as is the mother. The last time she and I spoke in Feb. of this year, she promised me a paternity test once the baby was born. I only heard from her once since then. She apparently is back with her husband...

what exactly will happen if I file for the Virginia Putative Father registery? What will happen next? Will they contact the mother, or will it stay private unless I file a custody/paternity suit? the reason I ask is because I would rather that she and I could work out a paternity test...

she is and has been separated from her husband for at least a year. no other children in the picture that I know about.

It is not as you say. I had very good reason to believe that she was not, and never was married. It was a surprise. Nor was it a one night stand. We dated for about 2 months. I thought that it was really going somewhere. Nevertheless, your point is taken about being prepared for this outcome if...

yes, I do. Thanks for your help on this!

well, I am new to all this. Never been in this situation before, and like I said, my only motive is to be a dad if I am truly a dad. end of story. Since I am not sure of how all the laws work, I want to be careful to never do anything antagonistic or anything that would be considered as such...

if it turns out that I am not the father, and I have put actions in place against her, what is the potential fall-out (legally speaking) against me? can she charge me with any crime for filing an action if I end up not being the father? Again, I have no real proof now that I am, but I know...

Well, I really don't care if she leaves the state to have the child or not, but since she has gone ahead and told her family and friends that I am the father, and I have also told co-workers and friends that this woman is naming me as the father, I want to take the legal steps needed to get a...

thanks for the link. there is a strong possibility that she will go to her home state of Texas to have the child, and that she might place the child in the custody of her mother once there....does Texas also have a program like this one that Virginia has? Thanks again.

Ok, but her attitude these days is that she really wont tell me where she is and what she is doing and what her plans are, etc. She has basically dumped me and all that entails. So, I cannot ask her too many questions during the little bit of time she will give me without her becoming very...

I began a romantic relationship a few months ago. The woman is now pregnant. The relationship has not worked out how I wanted it to, i.e. the woman is now shutting me out of her life. The pregnancy is coming along ok, but she has all but broken off contact with me. Come to find out (after...
