Question about a lawyer and child custody/support?

If I went to court against my ex bf for custody and support, could a lawyer find out if a new child is or isn't my ex's? Like he was with a girl after we broke up, she now has a kid. One time, he told my daughter she was gonna have a new brother or sister, then took it back and to this day denies it's his. However, I have heard from people that he says it is his, but I think maybe he is not even 100% sure. If we went to court, and this matter would affect our case, could someone find out for sure if this kid is indeed his or not?
Answers:
The first question is... how do you feel that this may affect your case? Perhaps, if you are concerned about child support issues than maybe, YES. Custody issues, it should not matter. However, you might want to elaborate your reasoning. if you want to discuss further e-mail me man07 anonymous@yahoo.com. Kind of going through the same thing... I can answer your question in depth there.
what does his having another child, who is NOT a party to the current proceedings, have to do with you?
It doesn't matter what he thinks about the child's paternity, or who he might have mentioned it to. If this girl says the child is his, then she can easily request a paternity test ot DNA test to prove it. It's not a "he-said, she-said" situation.
It's none of your business if this other child is his or not. It has no relevance at all to your case against him. Whether that child is his or not is between him and the other girl. Keep your nose out of places it doesn't belong and concentrate on your own child, not someone else's.
As you are not the mother, and he is not married to you, it seems to be none of your business. if it was relevant in some way, by affecting the amount of support that a court would order, then there are ways of checking paternity. However, if just want to know to satisfy your own curiousity, then no court would order him and the child to submit DNA samples for analysis.
Best advice is to ask a local attorney. Most will NOT charge for a first visit.
Here are some great city-specific legal directories to help you find one:
