| Help! How can I prove my boyfriend is the father of our second child? #236/7 |
|
I was with my boyfriend for 6 years we were pregnant with our 2nd child when he had his vasectomy done. A year later I became pregnant. He never went back to have his sperm checked. He committed suicide when I was 2 months pregnant. His family blames me. How can I prove he is the father?

Your unfortunate situation confirms the importance of post-vasectomy semen analysis. These can be done several times over several years to ensure that reanastomosis has not occurred.

You would need to have DNA testing done, of you, your child and some of your boyfriend's family. I am not an expert on this, though your pediatrician could initiate the process of DNA testing. You would eventually need to go to a lawyer, so you might also start there.

Of course, it is the woman who knows if she has had intercourse with a second person. I assume from the way you are wording this question that you did not have intercourse with someone else. Apparently your boyfriend's family thinks you may have had intercourse with someone else and that your boyfriend committed suicide because he felt that you had not been faithful to him.
Exactly why does his family blame you for your boyfriend's suicide? What are your thoughts on what led to your boyfriend's suicide? Had he been depressed?
