My dad had a mistress and unfortunately, they had a son. But my dad's still living with us. The woman's asking for money. Do you think he should support them? or just the son?

I think he should support the boy. It is not the boys fault that he was born. The boy has a right to know his father. I knoe it is a hard thing to accept, we were in kind of the same boat but it wasnt our father it was are mother.

Yeah. I agree with you. It's not his fault anyway. I knew about it just 2 years ago. And the boy is already 13 years old. They kept it from me. But it has been an issue about my dad supporting the two.

of course the second family is not legal so the father should not support his second family but this is always depend upon the father if he r he will not,but when the legal wife or the family found it then legal family always have right to interfere.

I honestly think that he should just support the son that they had together. I really do not believe that he should support his mistress. Especially if he is still with his family and wife.

I think its okay that your dad will give his support on his son with his mistress but if the mistress will demand that she also need to be supported by your dad, I think that will depend on your dad if he will also give support to his mistress or he will just give financial support with his son. He is required to give support to his son even that boy is his son with his mistress because he is still his son. But if the mistress already have new partner, your dad don't need to support her.

I think just support the boy cause it is your father's responsibility and the boy rights to get support and love from its father.
