i was recently shocked and surprised when a former lover of mine showed up at parents' house... i am ashamed to say, we were involved in an affair, i got pregnant, about 2 years later i divorced my husband, the boyfriend and i actually lived together for about a year (off and on, since he was mentally abusive - it just took me a while to "get it") but he insisted that my baby was his and he called her his daughter and called himself her dad to all his family/coworkers, etc...
he could be the dad, but i never legally acknowledged him (my ex-husband is her dad on birth certificate and in every other way!) - and i just chose to put that whole incident behind me. almost no one knows the details - of course, my ex and i are very protective of the child.
does anyone know how best to handle this? we have no trespassing signs on property. i have escaped him and do not want him to ever be in my life/life of my kids or family...
i know this is messy and ugly. it was a huge mistake, and i continue to pay for it. thanks.

i guess i did not actually post my question -
is there any way that this guy can make legal claims against me, harrass my child, or anything like that? because my child was born to me and my legal husband while we were married.
he had always threatened me that if i took my child away from him, he would make every attempt to contact the child when the child became 18 and he would tell everything, all the truth (as he saw it), and about how i stole the child away to keep him from my family, which involved other children...
he is really a pain. i have moved, changed my phone number several times, and made every attempt to be invisible to him over the past 12 years. i thought was safe and that i had escaped him or that he was dead... he was always messing with drugs, growing his own pot, etc etc...
does tn have anything on the books that would force us to court, force a paternity test, anything like that?

Well, he can most certainly take you to court and get paternity established. If it turns out he is the father, then he will be granted visitation rights and will have to pay child support.
