This.
Your not being unreasonable to ask for a paternity test. But I would keep the lawyers out of it unless it gets really nasty.
We always assume the worst, but your son and this girl might end up being good parents. You just don't know. I sure as hell wouldn't want anyone looking at the 17-18 year old me, and predicting my future. I was a train wreck back then.
I know a woman who got pregnant at 18, the father was on his way to prison for felony assault with a weapon. She ended up getting a degree, finding a great guy, having 3 more beautiful kids.....you just don't know.
All your son can do it be honorable, and keep being honorable. History has a way of sorting the truth.
