Father Not On Birth Certificate, and Mom Wanting Support After 15 Years

Well, I contacted a lawyer and gave him the quick run down of the situtation. Basically he said she can take me to court but due to the fact she waited 15 years to do it, the judge will seriously investigate why. He came out and said more then likely the judge would dismiss her claim for any back support. But he needs more info from me to come to a more concrete conclusion.

I just talked to my ex yesterday and when I brought up the fact I wanted to do a paternity test, she erupted on me, saying she was definitely going to make sure I paid her everything now and she didn't care how much my life got screwed up. I pointed out the paternity test was more for me than anything. With a kid that will probably never know me as dad, that test is like the holy grail to me.

She said by me doing that, I was treating her like one of these women on Maury that needs to test 15 guys or so to find out who the father of her kid is. I assured her that was not the case but I basically just got screamed at.

This should be interesting. Thanks for all the responses.
