In the eyes of the law, if your married to her it is your child whether your the father or not. Its called the doctrine of paternity.

You have to wait until your child is born and get a DNA test. I would also recommend looking into marriage counseling regardless of the outcome of the DNA. If you don't trust your wife, you need to work out your problems for the sake of your child.

Wait until she has the baby and ask the hospital to do a cheek swab and DNA test. Doesn't hurt the baby at all. Might piss your wife off pretty badly, though. You might want to wear a sports cup for a few weeks to protect your balls.

They have at home DNA tests for about 150 dollars. They aren't admissible in court, but would be a good start if you don't want to piss your wife off or let her know you are doing it. If it comes back that you are excluded, then you can start the legal battle.

I think there's a DNA test you can get while she's pregnant but I've heard it could harm the baby. If she's already 8months you don't have long to wait. Just get a DNA test once the baby is born...

Lets approach this logically, 1 ask her 2 tell her you need a dna shortly after birth to confirm parentage 3 explain why and how this would effect your involvement to her 4 ask her to also explain what her expectations are since you are needing this confirmation.

Sometimes, the baby looks just like the Father so there is no denying it.Hopefully, you are not being paranoid and making false accusations. If there is reason to doubt if you are honestly the Father, you can have a paternity/DNA test. Good Luck!

Sounds like there are some trust issues in this relationship. Most couples work their way through those kinds of issues before making a committment as big as having a baby.

I'm sorry you feel you have to ask this. You'd have to get a DNA test after the baby is born via a mouth swab.

Paternity Test after the baby is born.
When is she due exactly? What is the proposed conception date? How big of a gap was there in a possibility that it could be someone elses?

If you have to ask that question then your relationship obviously has bigger problems than the paternity of your child. However, unless you want to ruin the relationship, you just trust her, that it is your baby. If when the baby is born s/he comes out a different race than you and your wife, then you can ask.
