My son is emotionally scarred and can’t think straight right now, so it is my job to make sure he is asking for the right things. Is it petty to demand money back for what my son and I spent on a child that’s not his?

The son is justifiably scarred. Dad needs to think straight for him at this point

Going after money spent on the child is, IMHO, a waste of time. The legal process will be long and fruitless, and the woman won't have it anyway. Don't expect "justice."

At this point, he above all needs an immediate and clean divorce, and to protect his existing assets

They’re not married so need for divorce

The child is an innocent party. Why doubly hurt the child?

I don't recall seeing anything in there that said they were married. He can walk away from this without any trouble.

Divorce? I did not see any mention of a marriage.

They’re not married, girlfriend is the term the author used.

I would put a lawsuit on record to give other men fair warning. They don’t have to get everything back, just some and consider the rest payment for services rendered.

The baby deserves a better mother; it’s too bad there’s no way to retrieve the innocent from the guilty and give the baby a better chance in life. Unless, of course, his son keeps getting girlfriends and begetting offspring instead of waiting for a wife.

How do you know it’s dad, not mom?
