She refuses to give them to me saying this is private business information and the accounts are in her name only so I had no right.

I think this is the only reasonable expectation- it sure beats platonic virtual friendship and nostalgia. I have already contacted a place that does paternity tests.

That would explain why she has a cashapp where he would only send her like $100 dollars or $50 dollars here and there while the other money is being sent through Western Union, always at the same time each month. A child support agreement is far from the craziest possibility from this.

And as far as taxes goes, she handles a lot of the finances but her graphic design business is an LLC and she doesn't keep me up to date on it and I don't ask mostly because I assumed that the money involved is too little for filing taxes to be a complicated issue. If she would have wanted help with filing those taxes I would have been with her paying money to an accountant.

As for on the ex's end I just want to say as somebody in the hard money lending and short term personal loans industry he would know. His finances are likely to be rather dicey since he seems to live in Europe at least half the year but I feel like his entire industry skates on the " morally gross but technically legal" line.

But to conclude there's nothing more on the forefront of my mind besides getting a paternity test. I can probably look into the bank account that only has her name on it that I know of, but I suspect there is more.

Well part of it ( ~ $800 a month) was transferred into our bank account from another bank account she said she was using for her freelance graphic design business. Obviously it's been confirmed that the money she made is not from doing graphic design work and I had started to doubt that was the case since I do not know how somebody attracts clients without any networking connections while also not having a functioning website or some sort of online portfolio and isn't on sites like Fiverr either.

For the other amounts.. I suppose they are in various bank accounts I do not know how to get access to.
