Dealing with your spouse not only having an affair but a child as a result and how it affects your day to day life and the lives of your children.

It's been awhile since I've posted and a lot has happened. My H has continuously asked to have the OC for a couple hours and she takes a day even one time a week to get back to him. She has used every excuse she can, he's too young, breastfeeding (even though she said she was gonna pump) etc. This last Saturday he asked again and she responded They already had plans. I suspected it but she actually was going to his moms an annual get together that we used to go to. His mom actually invited us however I knew his aunt that is encouraging this OW to be around was going to be there. So she was there (and this isn't the first time!) and has basically paraded this OC to everyone in his family saying this is his baby. He got a message from his step grandma Sunday saying I saw your baby yesterday he is so cute. Anyways he asked again this weekend for the OC and she responded "we need to talk, I can meet you again without my other son this time." My H has only seen this OC once on her terms she said just swing by but I said that's unacceptable to me so they met at a restaurant and she brought her 13 yr old son so they accomplished nothing cause they couldn't talk. I don't know what she's up to or what she wants to talk about and I feel they should pick up the phone and talk but she demanded they meet again this Sunday. So again on her terms I know she needs money she doesn't work and doesn't get cs or ss from her ex husband for her other son. She lives off the system however she can so I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to go through the agency for support. I'm assuming she will ask him for cash under the table so that she doesn't have to show any income and still get her assistance. She also has indicated to my H that she doesn't want the baby around me she thinks I'll her it or be mean to it however I've never ever contacted her at all she's nuts. So just waiting to see what she wants to talk about it's killing me. She got pregnant on purpose for him to support her and her other son because her sister actually texted my H and said that he is her sole financial support and she expects her will take care of her and her son. Bullshit he will take care of the OC if it's his NOT her. Ugg amazing what a 40 yr old woman will do to get money makes me sick everyday. And to top it off his mom is accepting her with open arms to all the family functions and what really upsets me is our 4 kids that we have together his mother barely has ever seen in the last 17 yrs but she's treating this OC like it's Jesus. I have not contacted his mother either because I know I would lose it. This whole thing is messed up all around.
I know how hard it is waiting. We're currently waiting to hear back from OW on what she plans to do about custody and CS. We pay her CS but have no contact. She is pregnant again (OC is only 1.5) and talking about the new guy adopting OC. H will gladly sign over and not pay CS anymore, but she's taking her sweet time in telling us what she's going to do. If she decides not to then we will take her to court for visitation (she doesn't want him to see OC now that she's found a new idiot to play daddy)
Your H should push to have an exact time/date to have this meeting and ask what is going to be discussed. Has he been paying her all along under the table? If he really wants visitation he may need to go through the courts now if she's not letting him.
Honestly...knowing how OW's are, she probably brought a fake ring to wear for the shower so she could lie to everyone and make it seem like she's engaged to your H. You never know with these.
Has your H thought about a DNA test?
I think you should push him for a court order. If you guys want some type of visitation and he's going to be paying her anyways, then do it the right way. Doing things this way just leads to OW having the upper hand all the time and it's ridiculous. I wouldn't be able to stay with my H if he was going to be ok with only going over OW's house to see OC and paying her under the table to "help her out" in keeping her assistance. CS sucks, but if he's paying her anyways mind as well make it legit and make her go through the DNA test process.
You're also better than me...I wouldn't have been ok with my H going to meet OW on his own. It'd be an include me or I'm out type of things. OW's can never be trusted. My H won't even make a phone call without informing me and having me on 3 way if available.
