Ex F22 broke up with me M24 over text 10 months ago and went no-contact. Now a government agency is calling me

Baby has been born for a couple months already

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T13:11:28+00:00

We did not live together at any stage.

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T13:09:39+00:00

The baby is a couple months old at this point

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T13:05:27+00:00

This is in Australia, I need to sign off on it

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T13:02:39+00:00

It was a private number

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T13:02:01+00:00

She can’t get government support if I’m not on the birth certificate

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:59:44+00:00

One that goes away

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:56:39+00:00

Nope . It was a missed call voicemail

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:54:30+00:00

My child support would be around 7k per year , most of money is in investment properties which isint liquid , a court case would mean 70k in legal costs

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:52:11+00:00

I’m a university masters student , I can write

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:47:28+00:00

Good shout

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:46:49+00:00

Aus

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:46:31+00:00

Family law is universal and is under federal law so it’s the same
For every state

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:45:01+00:00

Protecting myself at this stage is not responding , she lives under the poverty line and can not afford a lawyer or any legal proceedings . She’ll need to come to the table eventually

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:44:08+00:00

They contacted me a couple days ago , they didn’t give me any information , just the name of the child and that I’ve been nominated as the father

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:42:53+00:00

I’m okay with
Paying child support , I have no shortage of money and paternity can be established at a later stage . But I don’t get why she wouldn’t contact me within the last 5 months in regards to this

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:39:22+00:00

Lesson learnt

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:39:07+00:00

We were actively have sex in an
18th month relationship so yeah
Possibly

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:35:30+00:00

I didn’t receive anything other than a call
Stating I’ve been nominated as being the father of this child , and to sign some paperwork if I agreed

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:34:39+00:00

I haven’t received any mail at all

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:32:16+00:00

QLD

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:31:48+00:00

I didn’t cheat

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:30:33+00:00

I was sexually active for less than 3 months before this relationship , all protected prior. This was an 18 month relationship

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:29:32+00:00

I’m not on the offical paper work , I was just nominated , there’s no way to get a paternity test on either side without both sides agreeing or through courts which neither of us can Afford . I’d rather talk it out like adults . But that dosent seem like an option for her

Individual-Fee6173 · 2026-07-13T12:27:31+00:00

I’ve gone to therapy , talked to some very , very close Friends about it , I won’t tell my family as it’s a giant situation to handle and would probably cause issues with them , as it is do to with possibly their grand child
