Aitah for insisting we get a paternity test before I sign the birth certificate?

My girlfriend and I believe in ENM. We aren't saying it's right for everyone but it works for us. I work in town and have several partners for when she is working.

She works at a huge construction project on the west coast and flies home for one week after working for two. Since the men outnumber the women their like 30/1 she has no problems finding partners.

Recently she has gotten pregnant. We are always careful and use protection. But I realize that isn't always 100% effective. I am excited for a baby, and happy we are starting a family, however I don't have any interest in paying to raise someone else's child.

I told her that we need to get a paternity test. She said that I was the father. I said that was awesome. I just needed proof. She said no. I said that without proof I wasn't signing the birth certificate and that I would be moving out so I could not be said to have acted as a parent.

She thinks that because we are in a relationship I need to step up. Like I said I have no problem raising a child that isn't mine. I just won't pay for the privilege.

AITA?

EDIT

I edited my post because it was pointed out that I called her my wife. we are not married. Just a long term relationship.
