Well, new topic, lets see how it does.  I am here to ask for direction, help or support at this time.  My soon-to-be exwife gave birth to a child in Feb of this year.  I was in and out of jail at this time, and not sure that I am the father.  Along with my doubt, everytime we got into a fight she would throw it up in my face that I was not the biological father of this child.  We are now going thru a divorce, and she is asking for maintenance and support for this child.  I have filed my answer and counter claim, but I was wondering if the "father" could request paternity testing thru the court.  I have asked my soon-to-be several times and she says no, or gives other reasons she can't do it.  I belive that I am not the father of this child, but if the testing proves I am, I will certainly take care of him.  I just don't want my soon-to-be to have me care for a child that is not mine.  Any suggestions, or sites I can check out.
thanks for helping out.

Down on luck Dad!!!

Hello all,
I am new to this forum, but have several questions regarding Georgia Divorce laws...  My brother is in Jail (several times over for stupid stuff), he married his wife on 03/03/03 (add them up to 666) anyway, this relationship has been hell since they met (in drug rehab). Sorry to be so snippy, but I am only doing this for my mother to help her keep his house.  Now.... back to my story.....when they met, my brother already owned his house, and all things in it, they have acquired very little together since their marriage(they both were on drugs, sold all their possessions together to fuel their habits).  She has 1 daughter taken away by her mother (for drugs), and they have two boys together(taken away for drugs), which my brothers first ex-wife is raising, and has full and sole custody.  Now there is another child, born after my brother went to jail (we don't think it is his) he has asked for dna testing and she will not cooperate.  Now.....with the housing markets like they have been, and him in jail for the last 1 1/2 years, he is falling behind on his house payments, which has been in foreclosure 2 times already, and stopped.  They wife was not paying payments, my mother was gonna make the payments, and I stepped in.  Got a modification on the house, and having them refinance the house.  In the mean time, his wife has been living there, selling what she can to get by, (making false insurance claims) to get money, and has not paid any mortgage payments.  my brother wanted her to make the payments, but she refuses to get a job to do so, he told her either she caught the payments up or get out of the house so mom could rent it to save the house.  She got mad when we confronted her and filed for divorce in Columbia, County Ga the day he told her to get out of the house.  SHe is asking for the total use of the marital home even though my moms name as well as my brothers name is on the mortgage.  We are gonna talk to a lawyer next week, but I was trying to find some answers on the web, and forums.  Is Ga a 50/50 state, and with the property being his before the marriage can she keep it, and with the paternity of the minor child in question can she sue him for support, and use of the residence with a small child?  She is looney, but then again he is as well, like I said, just doing this for my mom.  Any suggestions???  I am gonna try to find all the pro se info I can, cuz my mom cannot afford an attorney for my bro, and he can file most of the stuff from jail, so I am told???

Thanks for listening to my rant, any advice, all welcomed..... and yes I know my brother is an idiot.....
