Okay if the person I had a one night stand with claims to be pregnant, is it bad of me to ask for a paternity test when the baby is born and just be financially responsible if it’s mine but no other contact with her ?

Definitely not bad to ask for paternity especially if it was truly a one night stand but just make sure you really think things through before making a big decision about contact/involvement/etc! :)

Definitely get a paternity test and if you are super worried you don’t have to sign the birth certificate. But be prepared for answers. You need to keep civil and records of all conversations. If it’s text have dates and times in the pictures. Do not yell at her, you can let her yell but don’t engage. Step back. Set money aside so you can have stuff at your place for baby so when co parenting starts you don’t need anything to go back and forth. Learn your states rules for co parenting.

You have to do the paternity test either way because she can go through the court system and demand child support

The distance you are apart in miles is usually what used to designate your visitation rights. You just have to be able to get along enough to drop off and picks. Also co-parenting 101 learn not to say anything bad about the other person no matter what happens or what the kids says.
