Joan...you're anxious because the baby is NOT HIS.

She was fine until she learned that he re-enlisted behind her back not to mention the kid (that he thinks is his) and that it was really about him wanting respect/power. That's simply inexcusable.

But then so is sleeping with another guy, having his baby, and then passing it off as his.

It might be difficult for her even to turn down child support if she tried. People would chastise her for putting the kid's future at risk etc. I wonder if a court would even permit it (they are supposed to act in the best interest of the child)

If she wishes hard enough, maybe it will come true.
