My x wife informed me over 15 years ago that our son was not mine. I left her and we agreed because of that fact that no child care payment would need to be paid by me to her.
I have had no further contact with x wife or son since
Yesterday, however I received a letter from the CSA. The son is now just under 17 yrs and he has fallen out with his mum he is now living with a woman who has no family connection and it is this woman who has contacted the CSA asking for maintenance payments.
Now I only have my x wife's account if the child is mine or not but I think it strange that if the child were mine that I have had no contact with either before now.
Firstly if this woman has contacted the CSA, this makes me think that my x wife did not tell my son that I am not the father and if a DNA were to be carried out then this is going to be a shock for him. If I am the father then they will backdate my paments to this woman.
Secondly I am unsure if my son is still in education
and thirdly and most importantly can this stranger make a claim on my finances, which are very tight currently.
Thank you for reading
