What do you make of a starry eyed young girl from 'nowhereville'without a dime to her name and no name for that matter. All that she had going for her is a pretty face and an innocent look. You get smitten by her and you decide to take care of her even going as far as putting her through college(YES!) all with no strings attached, all in the name of love. Blinded by emotions you fail to take a closer look at her pedigree. Everyone she has dated before you has been an upgrade on the former. Steadily climbing the social ladder. Now she is out of college and you have served your purpose and it's time to move on (another upgrade) but you don't seem to get it. You preach love and all that and in the to and fro a baby is on the way and inevitably marriage You foolishly think a baby will smoothen things out, throwing in a loving husband and a good home right? wrong!. The hunger to climb the next rung of the social ladder gnaws at her and steadily eats her up and the outcome is inevitable-adultery and eventual breakdown of the marriage. What next? Nothing just move on with your life you might say but she won't let you off so easily. You have intefered with her plans with an additional encumbrance of a baby and you must be made to pay for it.The offer of custody of the baby is not good to her because the child is now a tool for extortion and blackmail Story sounds familiar? what's the next step he should take? you tell me am all ears.

With three marriages under my belt, I can tell you the truth here. All you can do is learn from your mistakes, pay your debts (and hers) and move on with your life. You screwed up royally and about all that's left for you is to make sure you've got a good lawyer who'll look after you in the property settlement and child custody matters. I wish there was an easy answer, but, alas, there isn't one.
