“Can’t raise someone’s child”: Man demands DNA test before signing on baby’s birth certificate
- A man in a long-distance relationship has refused to appear on their baby’s birth certificate until a DNA test is conducted
- He argues that since his lover works at a huge construction project away from him, she could be having several partners

An ENM means that the relationship is not fully monogamous, with both parties agreeing to have multiple partners.
Couple is in long-distance relationship
In a post on Reddit, the man explained that they chose the path because it works for them due to distance.
His partner works at a huge construction project away from him and flies home for one week after working for two.
“Since the men outnumber the women, she has no problems finding partners,” he started.
Things, however, took a downward turn recently when she informed him that she was pregnant.
Man wants to move out of their house
According to him, they are always careful and use protection even though he knows that isn’t always 100% effective.
The news was welcome, but he is worried that, given the nature of their relationship, he is not the baby’s father.
“I am excited for a baby, and happy we are starting a family, however I don’t have any interest in paying to raise someone else’s child,” he voiced.
For this reason, he demanded a paternity test to confirm he was the baby’s father, something his lover refused.
The man now maintains that without proof, he will not appear on the birth certificate and will be moving out so that he is not said to have acted as a parent.
“Like I said I have no problem raising a child that isn’t mine. I just won’t pay for the privilege,” he concluded.
Man dances after getting DNA result
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria earlier reported that a woman’s attempt to prove that her ex-lover was the father of her three-month-old baby left her in total shame.
Despite the man insisting that he was infertile, the lady chose to bring him for the DNA test to prove that he was lying and to make him take responsibility.
