Re: Overseas Divorce
You can file for divorce while you are pregnant.
If he wants custody of the baby, he might be able to get it. Parent rights are superior to grandparent rights.
Can he get your money? If he gets custody of the child, your child support would be based on your Iraq income.
Depending on the situation, he might be able to get spousal support.
You definately need to talk to an attorney ASAP.
I would ask you to reconsider leaving a brand new baby and going overseas. Many doctors believe that breast milk for the first year is the best thing for a baby.
If you go, please take out a lot of life insurance so that your child can be cared for in case you are killed.
