Joan Callahan did not know about the affair, her lawyer said. But when a paternity test confirmed that Liam Diaz Callahan was her husband's child, she included him when applying for benefits from the government's compensation fund, according to court records.
Sheesh. My only question is how his mistress's child came to have HIS last name?
this appears to be more and more common, as the illegitimate seek a kind of quasi-legitimacy...I don't know the legal basis, but it sure isn't the first time I've seen a child born out of wedlock somehow sporting his sperm-donor's legal name.
It's part of what I predict will happen after same-sex marriages take effect. Wives and mothers will no longer have the protection of conventional marriages--any time "hubby" wants, he can have a de facto second wife, which will divide the community property into smaller increments.
I do like to think of a certain ultra-liberal trophy-wife when BigBucks brings home some competition...at present she is very pro gay marriage... And I sure wouldn't blame the widow. How humiliating.
In fairness to the widow, she may have figured that the mistress would make a public fuss if the wife did not include her name. If I were the widow, I'd figure including the bastard child's name may be the best of all possible options for dealing with such a humilating situation.
