I need some advice. I have a 2 month old daughter, and there are 2 possible fathers. My whole family wants me to charge Matt(the guy i was actually dating) for child support. My family doens't know i don't know who the father is, well no one other than my mom and she JUST found out because she over heard a conversation i had with the other possible father. I need to find out who the father is before i go a head with chargin for shild support. Has anyone ever used any of the labs that advertise online, such as Genex Diagnostics? I was reading all the info on thier site and they seem legit. Devin(other possible father) is willing to do a paternity test, which is why i was looking into it. Everyone i've talking to in the city i live in has told me its at minimum 600$, these ones are 205$USD(i live in canada), which is still only 250$CAD. Matt has no idea i cheated on him, which is why i don't want to go to court with him and then find out he's not the father. Any other ideas or options i might have?

wow...um i completely understand where you are coming from. I have the same problem. I had *** with some guy we'll call A and a couple days later slept with B . A doesn't even know I had a kid because I told B that he was the father. I really honestly believe that B is the father. She looks just like B. Anyways, B's best friend was at my house the day i slept with A. But I didn't think he would remember because he was really trashed that night. But it turned out that he did remember and told B about it like 2 weeks before I had my baby.I denied it all the way and told B that if he wanted a paternity test that he would have to pay for it. I went to genetree.com and recieved a free testing kit. It is good and all it cost 245 but its worth it. And you dont have to send the money in till you send the test back. But we haven't done the test because he doesn't have the money to do it. I, however do have his swabs done so all i would have to do is mine and my daughters and i would know if he is the father but i dont have the money and my family is pressing me to take him to court. So, I'm trying to stall till i get the money to do it so i dont look like a fool in front of everyone in court. But my family sees this stalling as weekness. they think I think B will come back and be with me and help me take care of my kid. I dont want B back though. I found out he had a g/f the whole time he was with me, in fact he had had this girl friend for 7 years, when i had our daughter he left me and told me that he rather be with her. Anyways, I'm trying to see what i can do about getting a loan but the only thing i can find is payday loans and those are a scam so.... I'm stuck too. Go to Genetree.com and they have free testing kits. sign up for one, trust me, and they sent me a cupon for 45 off if i did it within one month..so good luck. They are also approved by the american bloodbanks assioction.
