"My wife and I separated for three months, six years ago. When we got back together, she informed me that she was pregnant. Since our separation was only for a few months, I assumed I was the father. Now, six years later, my wife and I are divorcing and I’m having doubts about the paternity. How can I find out without hurting my daughter ‘Sara,’ who I love?”

This is a difficult situation. To start with, if you discover that you’re not Sara’s biological father, then that could unleash a torrent of emotions that could adversely affect your other family relationships. At the same time, if you try and avoid getting to the bottom of this, the doubt may eat away at you and harm your relationship with your daughter. For example, you may behave in a negative way towards her, towards her mother, or any other children in the family.
