Actually, the problem might be not that you have a phantom husband, but
that one of your children has a phantom father. Go to each of your
children in turn and demand a DNA test! No, that's not right... Go to
each of your children in turn, as entered in the database, and check on the
bottom of their page to see who is listed as their father. I'll bet that
one has no father showing.
