Hello, I am logging in as MauryPovichProb since I believe I and my family might be about to experience one. I Really need to know what we should do next as this will affect the financial future of our family.

We did a recent credit check on ourselves since I am expecting our second child and hoped to move into a larger space. The check came back with the FRO listed against my boyfriend. We have been together for 8 years, and I don't suspect cheating since we have a very good relationship (I am aware there is a possibility, since no one is perfect, but I really don't suspect it of him.)

We are being told by one of his friends that a girl he dated years ago might have been hidding something, but he isn't sure. There is also a possibility that this might have to do with a period of time that we had to separate and I had to obtain Ontario Works because I had postpardom depression. (a severe case, better now).

I called the FRO office myself to see if I was involved by they told me it wasn't me. They couldn't tell me more then that. I believe the person on the phone though hinted toward the fact that it was OW related, but I couldn't be completely sure.

What is the safest way for him to proceed to find out detailed information about what they want? If he calls them, will they tell him what it is about or do we have to get a lawyer to find out details?

We are afraid of what this could be, some guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

they will not tell you anything because of privacy laws. They WILL tell him all the details because it is his account. When you separated before did you go to court and get CS for your child from him? Then did you register with FRO to have them enforce the agreement? If not (and considering you do not mention it I suspect not) then there is abviously another woman out there who believes that he is the father of her child.

Did it say anything on the credit report when Fro was first listed (a date)? Prepare yourself in case it turns out that either he has had a child with someone else or he cheated on you and that produced a child. It just seems funny that he knows nothing about this. The sooner he calls FRO and gets this sorted out the better

[About_Time]

Once a single mom goes on OW, they immediately go after non-paying birth dads for child support.

If some woman went on OW and claimed (rightly or wrongly) that your BF was the father of her child, legal proceedings would follow fairly quickly after that. That being said, it seems unlikely that an order with FRO would be issued without your BF even knowing about it. It would have to be based on a court order, and they are not quick to issue these to a respondant in absentia.

Like SotS said, get the BF to call FRO. On a more personal note, get him to put it on speakerphone when he does - something smells fishy here.
