1. before you go any further tell them that you need a DNA test done to prove that the child is your's. Otherwise tell them to shove off.

2. if it is your's I guess you have some responsiblity to help the child, but none to help the mother or her family.

3. good luck (and keep it wrapped in the future)

Aunty BimBim agony auntThe Phillipines is very different to Australia so it will be difficult to give helpful suggestions. Do you have paternity tests there? Can you organise them through the courts?

It does sound as though you remember the girl, you say she would come to your house for sex when you were alone, maybe she did fall pregnant.

Talk to somebody, your parents preferably, and your girlfriend too, if this child is yours your parents will need to know and your girlfriend, and regardless of the laws there, if the child IS yours you have a moral obligation to help with support.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntIt sounds suspicious. Perhaps I might have discovered a newfound paranoia in myself but I get the feeling she might just want money from you. But you should tell someone, your parents or your girlfriend if you truly trust her. Be honest and perhaps you will find the help you need with this. Has she given you any evidence of this child?

I hope that helps.
