Imagine finding out you’re going to be a father, but the mother is married and her husband wants you completely out of the picture. That’s the situation one man found himself in after a brief fling with a woman he met on a dating site. The woman, who had lied about being single, later discovered she was pregnant and a paternity test confirmed the baby was his. Now, her husband is demanding that the man sign away his parental rights or else he’ll divorce her and take their other two children. Caught in the middle of this love triangle, the man is left questioning if he should walk away from his child to save the family from further heartbreak.
