His Ex-Wife Cheated And Had A Baby With Her Affair Partner, Who Left Her, So She Wants Him To Provide Additional Child Support
I’ve always felt sorry for people who were not only cheated on by their spouse but also discovered their cheating spouse had a child with their affair partner.
One man recently refused to give child support to his ex-wife, the mother of his two kids, for a child she had with a man she cheated on him with. Now, she’s trying to get their shared children to convince him to do it.
He has two children, a 10-year-old son, and a nine-year-old daughter, with his ex-wife.
A few years ago, he thought he and his wife were expecting a baby. But after a shocking turn of events, he found out his wife had been cheating on him and that the baby was not his; it was her affair partner’s.
He knew he wanted to divorce his wife when he found out she was cheating. After confirming her new baby, a daughter, was not his through DNA testing, he only sought split custody of their two children.
“I paid some child support because I made more than her, but we had 50-50 custody time with the kids, and I remained an involved dad,” he explained.
“My ex lived with her [daughter’s] father in October of last year when he took off without a word and dipped from their lives. She has been in pursuit of child support ever since, but he cannot be found, and he quit the last known job he had, so she has been unsuccessful so far.”
While his ex is struggling to support her youngest child, his other two children are doing alright because he still supports them.
A month ago, his ex-wife asked him if he’d be willing to start sending her extra money so she could support her youngest daughter as well.

“I said no, that I was responsible for my kids, and I would not become financially responsible in any way for the child she made while cheating on me,” he said.
“She begged and told me they would have different lives if I didn’t help, and I told her that was not my problem and maybe she’d think about that in the future before she started an ongoing affair.”
He soon found out that after having that conversation with his ex-wife, she’d tell their two children what he said and try to get them to convince him to change his mind.
His kids approached him and asked why he wouldn’t support their half-sister. They were very confused, as they saw their half-sister as family and couldn’t understand why he didn’t.
He decided to be honest with his kids and explain the truth about their half-sister. Without getting too graphic or fully exposing their mom’s past, he told them that he is not their half-sister’s father and, therefore, does not support her.
He encouraged them to embrace their relationship with their half-sister but told them he did not and would not have a relationship with her.
“I told them I was still their dad, and nothing had changed, but I was never really their half-sister’s dad and didn’t want to buy her stuff as I do for them,” he recalled.
“They understood, and when they went back to their mom’s, she called and cussed me out for telling the kids more details than she wanted them to know.”
Should he feel bad for telling his kids the truth about their half-sister, or did they deserve to know?
