I raised a child who is not mine, can I sue?

|

One of the fears that we all have is raising a family, loving a child, and then finding out that the child is not yours in the first place. 

In this article, we try to dive into a very emotional topic: what if you raised a child who is not yours? What are your rights?

Right to Sue

If you were made to believe that you are the father of the child, and later on discover that you are not the father of the child, you may be able to sue the mother. 

You have all of the right to sue the mother for the emotional trauma and the financial gain that the mother and the child enjoyed by making you believe that the child is yours. 

Of course, with the right to sue comes the responsibility to prove the elements of the suit. You have to prove that the mother knows that the child is not yours and that the mother knowingly misled you into believing that the child is yours.

It is the fraud and deception that makes the case.

Right to Continue Being the Father

If legally you are the father of the child, you are the father of the child. You can still choose to love that child and give the child a great future. However, your right to sue and your right to continue being the father of the child may be mutually exclusive. 

With that in mind, make sure that you get the help of the best Southfield paternity lawyer through Haque Legal.
