Too, funny. You've come a long way baby....

Ex is pregnant and I might to have to pay child support... except I'm a lesbian. Help? [North Carolina]

This sounds ridiculous. It is ridiculous.

I'll start off by saying I'm a cis gender female. My ex is also a cis gender female. We separated about two months ago. State law says we can't even begin file for divorce until next July. She texted me today to tell me that she's 6 weeks pregnant. She's due in like June. We will still be married when her baby arrives.

I know from a friend's past experience that the mother's spouse's name automatically goes on the birth certificate here, whether he's actually the father or not, as long as they're still married on paper. My friend had to go through a paternity test to prove the baby wasn't his, and his lawyer said if the baby's real dad didn't step up that he might still be on the hook for child support. Because apparently the state doesn't care who the baby's actual dad is, as long as there's a second party to financially look after the kid. Luckily, in my buddy's case, the baby's father went through the process to be recognized as the real dad so my friend could be removed from the birth certificate. My ex says she doesn't know who the dad is. So basically, I think I'm screwed.

There is no way in hell this child is mine, but I can't divorce my ex in time to avoid it defaulting to me.. I'm meeting with my lawyer on Tuesday but like, really, this can't happen right? I feel like common sense says it isn't my baby so I shouldn't be responsible but the laws (as I know them) say otherwise. I guess the advice I want is what to realistically expect? Are there other cases like this? Or am I boned and doomed to play mommy #2 to a kid that isn't mine?

I don't know a "cis-gender" from a hole in my head.........But.......H omo's and weirdo's are equally $#@!ed by 'family' courts....

Welcome to the reality of recognition weirdo.

To hell with the cis-gender term. I am old school, straight.

As to the lesbian in this predicament:
WHA HA HA HA HA!!! I can't stop laughing.

[Anti Federalist]

OK...OK...OK...Let me see if I got this straight:

Dyke one is the writer of the OP.

Dyke two is knocked up by some unknown man.

Dyke one and two were "married", but separated prior to a divorce that will not take place until after the baby is born.

It was during this separation that Dyke two got knocked up.

She doesn't know who knocked her up, and anybody that may be a suspect is heading for the hills.

Dyke one is now worried that she may be on the hook for child support since she is still technically married to Dyke two and can not divorce until next year due to state law.

Is that about the long and short of it?

ETA - After three readings, I have to say that summary is correct.

Therefore:

The Reality of Recognition.

Brilliant. Especially when applied to weirdosexuals demanding acceptance, tolerance and recognition in normal society.

Yup. You got it. Some hilarious $#@!, amiright? Want equality? You got it. Good and hard.

Welcome to the reality of recognition weirdo.

Cis gender means they identify with the gender of their biological sex.

Welcome to the reality of recognition weirdo.

Exactly. When the whole talk of same-sex marriage or whatever kids are calling it these days came up, I said it might feel good to have a legally registered relationship, but just wait until the time comes to divorce and see what equality feels like then.

[Anti Federalist]

Allow me to post my smug face.

I would love to see a picture of these two broads.

I would love to see a picture of these two broads.

Here they are with their triplets. Just a second job ain't gonna cut it.

Not enough tattoos, otherwise pretty much exactly what I expected.

And Dyke One is the white broad.

[Anti Globalist]

Not surprising thats what they look like.

Unfortunately, you are out of luck unless you can convince your soon to be ex to add the biological father’s name to the birth certificate instead of yours. NC Statutes were amended to include same sex relationships including presumption of paternity. It’s seems ridiculous but it is for the sake of the child. Additionally the presumption covers the time of conception, so it doesn’t matter whether or not you are divorced when the child is born.
