My Ex-Wife, The Liar, Took Me to Court for a Kid That Wasn’t Mine, But I Found the REAL Father And…

The narrator was married to his ex-wife, Lena, for five years, and in hindsight, he realizes she saw him as nothing more than a financial provider. After their divorce, he unexpectedly receives a summons for child support—despite never having children with her. Shocked, he consults his lawyer, Marcus, who confirms that Lena has officially filed a lawsuit claiming he abandoned her and their supposed one-year-old son. Marcus warns that some states can legally designate someone as the father if they don’t contest paternity in time, even if later DNA evidence proves otherwise. Lena strategically filed the claim without DNA proof, hoping he would panic and settle or fail to react quickly enough. In court, Lena puts on an act, playing the role of an abandoned, struggling mother. However, Marcus demands a court-ordered DNA test. The judge grants the request despite objections from Lena's lawyer. Although she briefly protests, she quickly regains confidence—leading the narrator to suspect she has another trick up her sleeve. Digging deeper, the narrator and Marcus discover financial records showing Lena had been receiving monthly payments from another man, Daniel Vaugh. This revelation suggests that Lena had other sources of financial support, which raises even more questions about the true paternity of the child. The story is a tense legal battle of deception and strategy, with the narrator fighting against his manipulative ex-wife’s attempt to trap him in a financial obligation for a child that isn't his. _______________________________________________________________ #aita #redditrelationship #redditstories #redditstories #redditrelationship #aita
