Okay, so My fiance, Just found out after 5 years that his daughter is not his. She recently came to visit us in Georgia and something that he questioned became more evident when he saw her. He said alright i want to do a test. So he did and we found out when we went to take his daughter back to Puerto Rico. He spoke to the mother and she said " okay, you dont have to pay anymore but i want you to be the father still"
But unfortunately he does not want any responsiblity to the child. He wants the girl to know her real father whoever he is. THe problem i think he is facing is, the little girl legally has his last name, and he signed the birth certificate. ( him and the mother were never married ). He doesn't want her to have his name. and he doesn't want to pay.

He doesn't want to live a lie he says. He sees his child about once a year.

The father of the mother is now calling,mad and they want another test. Which is fine( even though ours was accurate 100%) . But how can he protect himself from her demanding money( can she demand moneY) he doesn't pay legal child support he just gives her between 600-1000 every month. If everything were to go smoothly is it possible to remove his last name?

This is very delicate and furusterating. The victim here is the child and the father. I just don't feel its right that he be obligated to pay for something that isn't his, if the mother acknowleges the fact that he isn't the father, if the test proves it also.

hes knows it would be easier to go on like nothing happened, but he just doesn't want to live like that. he says he loves the child but it changes everything and he doesn't want to live a lie or be responsible anymore financially.
 
Most states have a very short time limit to dispute paternity. Your boyfriend may not legally be able to dump this child. I dont understand why your boyfriend did not dispute paternity soon after the birth, and why its appropropriate to leave this girl without a Dad?

He might want to see an attorney in Puerto Rico but it is possible your boyfriend might not be able to wiggle himself out of this. The courts are going to look out for the kids best interest, not your boyfriends.

He should see an attorney but nees to face the possibility this child might be legally his, despite what the DNA test says.
 
not saying its appropriate to leave this girl without a dad. But the problem is , is the other guy the mother was seeing ( the other alleged father) lives right up the street from them. its hard for him and i understand that.

WE live a country away, so its difficult , hes been paying for a child and doesn't have the freedom to even see her when he wants ( overprotective mother) . its a horrible situation and its not thast hes a horrible person thats jumping for joy that this child isn't his, hes feelign betrayed and doesn't feel its right to go on lying... and i have no choice but to understand.

my other question is...

if everything were to go smooth... we take another test with the mom, they accept the fact that shes not his..and say " alright you dont have responsiblity" if both parties agree is it possible for them to remove his last name .. etc?
 
Like Duranie stated he needs to see a lawyer because there is a time limit on disputing paternity. He would probably need a lawyer in the stae/city where he wants to dispute paternity or where the child was born.
