NSW Affidavit draft for initiation action

[Tim W]

I presumed after the legal DNA result is provided, then the court and the parents boyfriend will want the costs of raising my child to this point paid back to the boyfriend as he paid everything to that point.

I say this with all courtesy - I am not sure if you are naive, or foolish,
or if you are just over-thinking this whole thing.

You are not breaking new legal ground here.
It might be new to you, but it's a well trodden factual path.
I most strongly suggest that you take yourself to a Family Law lawyer, and
get yourself some properly thought out, case-specific, formal advice
about your obligations, and rights.
I further suggest that you do this without further delay,
lest you get yourself into a right mess.

Thanks, I will be doing that once I return to Australia.

 

[Tim W]

You can instruct a lawyer in Australia
even while you are overseas.

I do not encourage delay.
Good luck.

Thanks Tim.

Just have to produce the money otherwise I have to wait.

1 thing, after engaging the services of a solicitor, do not expect an affidavit of 24+ pages to be filed. The solicitor will sort through your information and include only what is relevant (from a legal viewpoint).
