UnfairRepresent 08/23/19 5:40:26 AM #1:	A woman must tell her son who his biological father is after having an affair, the High Court has ruled. A wife who was sued by her husband after it was revealed that her eight-year-old son is not his must reveal the name of the biological father to her husband and child. The husband had originally sued for "every penny" he spent on the child he thought was his son but was fathered by someone she had an affair with. However, following a hearing in June he decided he wanted to continue his role as a father to the child and subsequently no longer seeks reimbursement. But the man and woman had argued over whether the boy should be told who his real father was. The man said he should be told while his estranged wife was against such a move. Mr Justice Cohen ruled that the boy should be informed that the husband is not his father and noted that too many people knew for it to remain a secret. The judge said the boy must not be told until the time was right. He said an independent social worker would give advice and decide when the boy should be given the information. Mr Justice Cohen made it clear that while the boy would be informed that the husband is not his father, it would be up to the child to decide if and when he wanted to know the name of his biological father, at which point the husband should also be told the name of the man. Mr Justice Cohen also ordered the husband not to publicise the other man's name. The biological father of the boy has said the allegations that he fathered the child have no iota of truth whatsoever. The judge has outlined his decision in a written ruling following the latest round of litigation at private hearings in the Family Division of the High Court in London. He said no-one involved could be named in media reports of the case. Details of the case had emerged in July when the judge published an earlier ruling. The judge said the man had been devastated to learn that he was not the boy's father and had launched a "raft" of litigation. He said the woman was "full of remorse". Full Article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/08/22/woman-must-tell-son-biological-father-having-affair-rules-high/ What do you think? Should the mom be forced to tell her son/ex husband who the real father was against her will? What if the ex wants to know but the son doesnt? Should the biological father be finanically responsible for some of the costs of raising the kid? If you raised a child you thought was your own for 8 years, would you really want to cut ties the moment it's revealed to be someone elses or would you love the child too much by then? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgtc.com/i/bHqCLJF.png https://i.imgtc.com/YnvkpvU.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:926437986] in High court...

Fam_Fam 08/23/19 5:45:33 AM #2:	biological father is responsible financially, its his kid. telling the kid is a gray area. i think they can/should tell when he's old enough to understand the situation. not now, necessarily, though. it would be VERY hard if it wasn't mine. I'd probably want to be involved still to some extent, because I would love the kid.I would not take 100% responsibility though, probably. Particularly if this was the result of cheating that caused me to break up with the woman. If me and her were fine, I'd be more inclined to be in the child's life and to help. Not really fair to the kid (who wouldn't be responsible for what happens with me and woman), but it's how i would feel/act I think. <cite>Fam_Fam posted [p:926438052] in High court...

Twin3Turbo 08/23/19 9:11:46 AM #38:	Not sure I agree with the whole " but the kid didn't do anything" logic Like, lets say a guy meets a single mother when her kid is 6 months and dates her for three and half years. He takes care of that kid as if it's his own, but then he and the mother break up. After the break-up, he no longer cares for the kid financially, even though that guy was the only person that the kid knew as a father. In that case too, the kid "didn't do anything wrong" but I don't really think most people would be calling the guy an ass or questioning his mental state for no longer financially supporting them. Key difference here is that they guy knew from the jump that he wasn't the father, but I guess the question I'm asking is, is that point alone good enough to label someone as being a bad person or not? The fact that he wasn't duped, something that would understandably make someone more irate about the situation? Not necessarily sure if I agree. Tough situation all around. I can kinda see where both sides are coming from. --- https://imgur.com/PHWbltB <cite>Twin3Turbo posted [p:926441660] in High court...
