Infidelity, child support

I have been seeing someone for 7 yrs now and have been living with him for 4 yrs. We were once engaged but due to relationship problems.....we mutually broke the engagement off. We have a 3 yr old son together as well as a house. Just recently I found a number on his cell phone bill on a day that he went to a club. The call was placed at 4 o'clock that one morning! So I was immediately suspicious so I questioned him about it. I asked who he had been talking to and if there was anything I needed to know...to get it all out in the open before i found out anything different. Well he started saying that "cindy" was a freind from high school and they had seen each other a couple times at the club and exchanged numbers. I decided to call "cindy" and she told me the same however.....she added that in April...they slept with each other, only one time....UNPROTECTED! It killed me to hear this. How could someone have so little respect for my body as well as his own?? To the day, he still denies it however, whether it is true or not I kicked him out of our home and have filed for child support due to the fact that he said since he no longher lived their, he would no longer pay the mortgage. He hasn't offered to help financially with the baby and I'm going to need help with the mortgage so I feel that child support was my only option. I did not file as a revengeful way to show him it's over...I truly need help! We talk now as friends and he occasionally comes over. I have yet to tell him I filed for child support. Any suggestions on doing so? I'd like to keep the peace between us and act as mature adults...especially for our son's sake.

You are definitely entitled to child support, whether you need it or not. The man must support his child. In fact, he should have offered child support because it is the right thing to do. I would just tell him you have filed. Even if he gets mad, it will be better if you tell him before he gets served with a court notice. And really, he has no cause to be mad. This is his child and he should be supporting him.
