My partner and I have been together for 4 years and have 2 children and another on the way.
Today he received a letter from CMS saying he owes child maintenance for a child he has never known about. This child is now 5 years old.

Obviously a dna test will need to be done anyway, but where do we stand with this?

I'm so upset and confused, literally found out I was pregnant again yesterday 😭

He's adamant condoms were always used, the relationship didn't end great and she blocked him (apparently)

Obviously if the child is his he will have to pay, but the amount they're asking for we cannot afford.

Unsure what you mean by where do you stand by this?
Obviously a DNA test first and if it does come back he is the father then he pays.

If the child is his, then he will have to pay. Are you sure he had no idea? Sorry this must be a big shock for you.
