You may think I am burying my head in the sand here, but hey if it works for ostriches!
OK, let's play this scenario out a bit further, just to see where it takes us. Just for the sake of discussion:
Suppose W does not encourage OM1.
Suppose OM1 keeps pursuing in spite of this.
Suppose, after the baby is born, OM1 decides that the baby is probably his (make up whatever reason you want - the baby's eyes remind him of his Great Aunt Ethel.)
Suppose OM1 gets a lawyer and somehow sues to get a paternity test done.
What I'm saying here is, this is a pretty darned complicated situation. OM1 could believe he has a "legitimate" claim to stay involved with the baby. If that's the case, I worry that burying your head in the sand could backfire on you in the long run.
