Real life Jerry Springer........

So, you know those Jerry Springer shows where people fight over whether a kid that they've raised for a few years is really their kid? Well, one of my co-workers is dealing with that scenario.

He has a 2 year old daughter. He and his wife have filed for divorce after 18 months of marriage. He's a nice guy who jumped into a relationship without seeing the warning signs just because his girlfriend at the time was pregnant. What he has found out since filing for divorce is that his wife literally got her divorce from a previous husband only a few weeks before they were married. As a result, they are unsure whether the child is even his child.

It's a terrible situation, as he is very close to his daughter and vice versa. I can't even imagine the thought that you'd invest 2 years of your life raising a child only to find out that it wasn't your child. You'd then have to reconcile your relationship going forward and what the courts would allow as far as parenting rights go. That's just nuts. I'm REALLY hoping that he's the dad because he's a good guy who got caught up in a bad situation. He doesn't need this mess.
