I got pregnant from a man who didn’t want the baby. I left the relationship and there were some final emails about money. He owned me money but somehow turned it in: this financial situation is settled then and now each of us doesn’t own each other anything anymore. These were the finals words of his last email. I didn’t hear anything from him anymore for 8 months, the baby was already five months then. All of a sudden he wanted to know how the baby was going and ‘talk’ about it. I didn’t answer it. He went to my parents, he arranged mediation, i didn’t reply onto anything out of fear. I don’t want this man into my life ever again. Then a lawyer emailed me telling me the father wanted a DNA test. I know someone who is into sovereignty and he helped me writing an affidavid and notices of default. in the mean time I found your course and started studying. I’m not through all of it so maybe valuable information will come that I should know before asking this question, but I wanted to ask if you could expand on this situation. To make it even more complicated. My husband (not the father of the child) and I did not officially divorce yet. We split up but did not officially divorce. So the baby got the name of my husband (and the same name as my older two children). Apparently that is how it works in Belgium. It was impossible for me to give the baby my name as I was planning. My (ex)husband is aware of this and we are living apart but on good terms. The biological father has one year to claim his fatherhood, we are already past that point. But there is still fear in me of the whole legal world so I want to really get deeper into all of this. Thank you!
