What Do I Do If My Daughter Isn’t Mine? (saskatchewan, Canada)

Location: Saskatchewan, Canada

So, to preface this, I’ve known that it’s POSSIBLE since before she was born. Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

My ex got pregnant and I knew at the time she was with me and another guy, we weren’t together together at the time, so that’s whatever, I’ve gotten over it (and really had no say in it at the time but yknow, younger age bigger feelings, whatever)

Our daughter was born, I wasn’t put in the birth certificate because we weren’t certain, but I’ve raised her since birth, she lives with me half the time, and her possible other dad would text her mom like once a year IF mom reached out first.

She’s 8 1/2 years old now, he finally reached out, and we’re getting a paternity test in the next few weeks. Just going to test me against her and see.

If she’s NOT mine and this guy wants to step in and be a parental figure, how do we go about this? I wouldn’t trust a guy with no kids to take her alone, I wouldn’t know how to do anything with paternity, would I be able to petition any courts to get paternity just based on the fact that I’ve been her dad for her entire life, biological or not?

She looks a lot like I did as a kid, so I’m not EXTREMELY worried that it’ll come up negative, but if it does, any advice on next steps or whatever would be insanely appreciated. I admittedly am spiralling about this so if anyone’s gone through it and has any advice, please send it my way.
