HYPO: A man marries a woman, spawns 3 children, and the couple get divorced after 7 years. The man pays child support but retains split custodial rights. Five years after divorce, the man has a paternity test done and finds out 1 of the 3 children is not biologically his.

What would you do if in the man's shoes? Assume he still loves the child as his own.

As a new father, I can’t imagine not loving my daughter, or not taking care of her, if I found out in 7 years that she wasn’t mine.

Assume it is 10 years later, and it is the middle child that is not biologically yours. Hypo is for a period of 12 years, assuming first born child was born in the first year of marriage.

i agree. if I found out my son was not mine, I could never disown him. Little dude loves me with all his heart and I cannot imagine hurting him that badly. I would commit suicide before abandoning him.

I wouldnt even tell his mother that I knew, for fear of how she would hurt him. I would play it cool as fuck until he was of a certain age, maybe around 21, to understand women's devious ways and then I would tell him what I learned and when I learned it.

I would prepare that he would focus a lot of shock and anger at me and that I would be hurt by his search for his "real" dad and all that, and give him about five years space to work shit out.

toxic thread. i think it would be really hard to cut off a kid you both thought was yours for like 10 years, especially if the two siblings were both yours (i.e., the siblings could end up really mad at you for cutting off the third), and i'm someone who hates the idea of raising someone else's kid and would never in a million years adopt even if that were my only option for "kids".

Obviously this would be devastating to the non-biological child. It would also be devastating to the other 2 children.

ehh, a man is a sucker when he dates a chick with kids and then takes care of her kids.

the OP's hypo is really tough. by that point there would be a pretty special bond between the father and the kid. the two half-siblings makes it even more difficult, as it'd be hard to abandon the one without harming your relationship with the other two.
