A few other facts are that the OW is already a single mom, so there is no husband in the picture. We have 3 kids together from our marriage all 5yrs old & under. I have already filed for divorce we have our temporary hearing in November. Are you separated now? What is your current status? And how many affairs has he had in his past?

My advice as one who has been down a similar road: Do NOT take a paternity test if you have any desire to save your marriage!!! It's best to make OW go through the courts.

And you can tell AndyL that others have been in his position and if he doesn't take a test, ignorance is bliss. If down the road when the OC turns 18 and seeks him out, he can find out then if he's the bio-dad and have a relationship without OW's interference. Don't verify anything unless you absolutely have to.
