Edwards was forced into admitting his affair with Hunter when the National Enquirer caught him coming out of her hotel room during the middle of the night but he’s never confirmed he’s the father of her love child.

In the new documents posted on RadarOnline.com, Hunter’s attorney Frank Louis gives her extensive written advice about how to calculate her expenses for the child support battle versus Edwards. His letter to her spells out the case is “Hunter vrs. Edwards” and it is obvious things are not going well in the negotiations because the first line of the letter states: “Dear Rielle, I am writing because of our recent conversation which heightens the likelihood litigation may ensue.”
