Quote: I'm ASSuming when you write "child support" that you're refering to the financial kind. H has an obligation to the child, but it doesn't have to be a financial one.
Well - yes it does! the law says so - he played a role in bringing this child into the world, he has an obligation to feed and clothe and shelter it - that takes money.
I would hope, if this child was raised in one household instead of two, that it could be sheltered from the information that it was the product of an adulterous affair until it was grown.
