She Found Out Her Late Husband May Have Had An Affair Baby After His Mistress Showed Up On Her Doorstep Demanding Half Of His Estate
About three years ago, this woman’s husband sadly passed away – leaving her to be a single mom for their 8-year-old child.
Following her husband’s death, she also learned more about him and all of the suspicious things he was up to during their marriage.
“Let’s just say that if he were alive, we wouldn’t still be married,” she said.
Still, she received a massive shock around six weeks ago when someone arrived at her home – trying to serve her husband with a court order that stated he must submit a DNA test for a random child.
At the time, she just gave the process server a copy of her husband’s death certificate and thought that would be the end of the whole situation.
But it wasn’t. Instead, a woman then showed up on her doorstep and claimed to have had a child with her late husband. In other words, she found out her husband may have fathered another woman’s kid while having an affair during their marriage.
Upon finding this out, she really didn’t know what to believe and didn’t really care if her husband had a second child.
“The child kind of looks like him,” she detailed.
Still, the kid was also young enough that her husband would have had to get the other woman pregnant very shortly before his death.

Either way, she tried telling the woman that her husband was dead and shared where his grave could be found. However, the woman wouldn’t let up and started demanding that she hand over half of her husband’s estate.
“I laughed and told her that half of nothing was nothing, and she was welcome to that,” she recalled.
Yet, that was not entirely true. Sure, her husband did not have an estate, but there were assets passed on outside of probate.
More specifically, there was one rental property gifted to her and her husband by her in-laws years ago. The deed listed her and her husband as the joint tenants with rights of survivorship.
So, when her husband died, the property became solely hers.
“And I’ve already sold it, and that will be the money that sends my kid to college,” she explained.
In terms of legality, she apparently also spoke to her attorney already, and she did not do anything wrong.
“While I feel bad for this child, I also have a child of my own to look out for,” she reasoned.
Even so, after finding out her late husband may have had an affair baby, she can’t help but wonder if not giving that child any money is justified or not.
Is it possible her late husband is not the child’s biological father? Should she feel bad about looking out for her own kid? What would you do?
