Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Divorce

If you are being represented by an attorney in your divoce action you should be asking these questions of that attorney. If you are not represented, you should retain an attorney to represent you, since there is a presumption that any child conceived during a marriage is the child of the parties. But that presumption can be rebutted by a paternity test. Good Luck!

: Divorce

Whose child is it?

You do not say what the potential impact is on the custody matter, and what is the custody matter.

If you have more specific information, I can provide a more specific answer; so please contact me.

Re: Divorce

I would assume you are represented by counsel and so given his knowledge of the case it is unlikely my opinion will be better than his.

Nevertheless, the judge is obligated to act in the best interest of the child. Given the GAL report, you can ask the judge for temporary custody pending a final decision if he wants to delay the final decision.

I have question, which is a little in-delicate. Is the unborn child yours? I do not know the reason for divorce, but if there was an affair and you are unsure of the parentage of the unborn child, you can ask for a paternity test.

Regardless, I wish you good luck. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact me. But I assume based on the GAL report your current counsel is doing a good job for you.
