Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce and temporary spousal support

My husband walked out on me at 3 months pregnant. I'm now 5 months along. He's not assisting me at all financially and we can't get a divorce until the baby's born. What can I do to get financial help from him in the mean time?

You may not be able to get a divorce, but you can file for divorce and ask the judge for the support you think you need.
