Re: Paternity and Child Supoort
No, at two, she should be able to remember enough. (personal experience speaking from someone who has an "ex parent" who was banished by the courts from my life at around that age) Mom is going to have a big mess to clean up here.
Re: Paternity and Child Supoort
Dealing with this is one of the hardest things I ever had to deal with. When I first found out, I continue loving and doing the things as if nothing ever happen. Every time I look at pictures in my phone, I have a hard time dealing with it. People deal with things different. I thing it is best for me to leave now and not here be confused when the real father comes around.

Well..what do you want to do?
Re: Paternity and Child Supoort
Best for her, or best for you? (I do apologize. I am sorry you find yourself in this position, but now that you are...I feel that your child loves and needs you.)
Re: Paternity and Child Supoort
I want the child to know who her father is and not be confused when she gets older. I don't mind giving to the child, but I will not be held for responsible for child support. As Christmas comes around, I will be giving gifts to the ex mother in law from me and tell her put from santa. This is how I'm handling it and I will not deviate from that. Like I said, everyone deals with things differently and sometimes it unfortunately kids have to suffer from decision their parents made.

That's the point though. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Either you want to be a father to this child - in which case you're also on the hook to support her - or you don't.
There is a small part of me which is almost begging you to rethink this. You love the child. The child knows only you as Dad. The question of biology can be dealt with later.
But you're right. It's your choice, essentially.
