My husband's ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend at the time my husbands child was born was given another mans name and the boyfriends name was put on the birth certificate.  The boyfriend knew that the child was not his but wanted to raise him as his own.  My husband just assumed that the child was not his when he found out about the boyfriend and the fact that the child was given this mans name.  My husband had a DNA 15 years later and found out that he is the biological father.  Now we are trying to get my husband named as the legal father and get the boyfriend out of the picture. 

The problem is that since the boyfriend signed the birth certificate he more less adopted the child.  We have to get him to sign his rights away.

The mom is now going after my husband for 15 years of back child support.  We are fighting this in court as my husband was never given the chance to be the childs father.  She gave that to another man whom got to spend the first years of the childs life with him. 

This is a sad situation for my husband as well as the child.  This was a very poor decision of the mothers and now my husband and the child are having to deal with it.

I am happy to say we are trying to get all of this untangled through the courts and my husband and the child are working on getting a relationship going.  The unfortunate thing is that the mother does not seem to want the child to have a relationship with his dad.  Seems that she is only interested in the support.  My husband wants to provide for this child and will. 

For you men out there, Can you imagine raising a child with another mans name and your grandchildren even having a diffrent name than yours?  I am a women and I can't imagine it.

I just dont understand some women!
