Dear Queenie,
My daughter got divorced because her husband cheated on her. Now the girlfriend is pregnant. My daughter thinks her ex-husband should get a paternity test on the girlfriend’s child before he ever introduces it to the children he had with her as their half-sibling, just in case the girlfriend cheated on him the way he cheated on his wife.
Queenie, what do you think?—Doubtful mother
Dear Mother,
Your daughter cannot prevent her ex from thinking that child is his and introducing him or her to your grandchildren as their half-sibling, but given the circumstances, you would think he would want to know for certain that he is its father.
