[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can find a way to drift away and not name him on the birth certificate, OP, you should. You don’t want a lying creep like this in your life and it just takes his nagging mom hearing a redacted version of his story to decide you’re the bad guy and to convince him to fight for custody.

For this reason, maybe OP should press criminal charges.

He knew.  He didn't disclose.  He recklessly endangered her health and the health of the baby.[/quote]

I wouldn’t press charges proactively but I would document the crap out of the situation and keep it in my back pocket in case he tried for custody of any kind. Op, you don’t need a divorce and that’s fortunate, but you do need a consult with a family law attorney to figure out how to best protect your rights and your baby’s rights. Find someone who specializes in custody vs straight up divorce litigators. No mediation nonsense, you want an attorney. And you need to get a will in place and think about who to designate as a legal guardian. [/quote]

You actually can’t sue for someone not telling you they have herpes. This still only applies to HIV. I actually looked it up a couple of years ago and I couldn’t believe it-but yeah. [/quote]
Of course you can sue. Like most things it’s state specific but many states allow for claims to be brought for spreading infectious diseases.[/quote]

Sure you can sue for anything-but it’s not actually against the law, so winning is the issue. [/quote]

Negligence and tortious injury are against the law. People have done time over spreading STDs. Regardless if it’s against the law criminally, if someone does anything to inconvenience your life and cost you money the courts exist to remedy those situations and make you whole.[/quote]
