Treese, I'm sorry you are under this stressful situation. The judge most likely will look at what he's making, the current situation of him being separated from you and make a determination as to how much he should pay. Someone is going to have to step up to the plate and advise the judge that you two are separated. I don't blame you in seeking a lawyer's advice. You don't want that woman coming in for some of what you've worked so hard to achieve in life.
I suspect, if the child is his, he's going to be paying for some back support for a long time. I'm just surprised it's taken this long for this to hit the fan. Then again, maybe she's hoping to get his undivided attention. I guess we'll never know or understand the workings of this woman's mind.
I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Try to stay calm. I realize it's hard to do when faced with this type of crisis, but getting emotionally worked up and stressing you out and creating health issues for you. Please, please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
