What his wife did was awful, but I think his brother's betrayal is worse.

No, no, the wife made an active commitment to OP. The brother did no such thing. You can't choose family, so what the brother did is really only as bad as the relationship between OP and him was good.

Both are very very horrible and painful. There's something horrible about both, getting a knife in the back by a family member, and by someone who's vowed to love and stand by you.

Just because they are not his actual children doesn't stop them from being his dad. My "father" was not in my life much and never has been. My "dad" raised me, nurtured me, and I love him like a true father. Now tell me why OP should abandon the children he raised if he loves them.

As much as I agree with you on this in the eyes of the law that is not the case. Either he kicks that cheating bitch to the curb, or suffers through it and sticks around for the kids. It would be a tough choice for me.

Or he can divorce the cheating bitch and ask for custody of the kids, seeing as how living with him would probably be better for the kids than living with a ***** of a mother. I'm sure he can find some evidence in their marriage that will gain him custody. This kills two birds with one stone because he will be rid of the wife, and the children will still have a chance to grow up in a loving environment.

unfortunately as far as the law is concerned the wife has the legal right to the kids since he has no biological connection to them. What she did may have been reprehensible but as far at the courts go unless he can prove that she is a completely unfit parent he has nothing he can do. Even then the court would award custody to the brother since he is the biological father unless he is willing to sign custody over. I feel for you OP and wish you all the best of luck in sorting this out.

I only just realized that this was in Pakistan. I have no idea about how the law treats situations like this there so disregard most of what I said before, I still wish you the best of luck OP I don't know how I would be able to get through what you are enduring myself.

In most US states, my understanding is that if the women is married at the time of birth, her husband is assumed to be the father and the birth certificate legally records that. I gather a paternity test would have to be done to override this, at which point Brother could be charged child support. Of course, all of that is null and void when the wife and brother suffer a fatal car accident when returning from a rendezvous.

I know this isn't exactly related, but your comment made me wonder... What if a woman slept with two brothers in the same week and got pregnant, except that they weren't just brothers, but identical twins! How would she know who the father was? Because they both have the same DNA, so a paternity test would indicate that they were both the father. Would they BOTH have to pay child support? Would they both raise the baby? *Mind blown*

#71, you should just check out re-runs of "My Two Dads." The answers to all of your questions are there. I'm not exactly a scholar* of the show, so I can't remember why they never did a DNA test to see which of the dads was the real one. I think they purposely decided to not find out. *I do have a Ph.D. in "Seinfeld" and am working on a B.Sc.** in "Big Bang Theory." **Bachelors of Sitcom.

Didn't they have the same DNA, so it wasn't possible for them to tell who was who?

Their DNA isn't exactly the same. There are slight differences. Though the number of matching alleles can make it difficult, it isn't impossible to determine paternity.

If she has done that to you she's not worth it
