I’m Not Giving Money to My Late Husband’s Affair Child

The burden of betrayal and the complexities of inheritance can be overwhelming. This was true for a woman who, after her husband’s death, faced an unexpected dilemma. She recounted, “My husband passed nearly three years ago, leaving me to raise our 8-year-old alone. Since then, I discovered truths that would have ended our marriage. Six weeks ago, a process server came with a court order for a DNA test. I gave him the death certificate and sent him away. Soon after, a woman appeared, claiming her child was my late husband’s son.

I don’t know if it’s true, and I don’t care. The child, likely conceived before my husband’s death, resembles him. I told her he had passed and pointed her to his grave. She demanded ‘her half’ of his estate, to which I laughed, saying half of nothing was nothing. While there was no estate, I did inherit a rental property that became mine upon his death and sold it for our child’s college fund. Legally, I’m protected. I feel sympathy for the child, but my priority is my own.”

Supportive voices said, “Focus on your child. The property is legally yours, and there’s no proof your husband fathered her child. You owe her nothing. If needed, get a restraining order. It’s between her and your late husband, and she should have acted while he was alive.”

Though her decision may spark debate, it underscores a universal truth: moving forward often requires difficult, personal choices.
