Do NOT pay child support, sign anything regarding parental rights, or give her any money until you have a paternity test. Be prepared to pay for the test yourself.
Be clear with her: You are willing to take her word on this and treat the child as your own, but you expect a paternity test before you enter into any more of a legal situation with her or the child. Basically, she doesn't see a dime until she consents to a paternity test. If she tries to take you to court for child support, she will quickly find the court will support your position.
In the meantime, it would be a good idea to set aside some money from each paycheck for the child. If it is yours, you'll be required to pay the child support for the months you've missed so far. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
