Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
pregnant with man other than husband
My husband and I are separated for about 2 years now and lives overseas(not knowning exactly where he is)but I'm filling for a default divorce but my problem is that I am now 5 months pregnant with another man.The baby is not my husband's because he has not be in this country for the past 3 years.Should I wait and file for divorce after baby's birth or would it matter showing up in court being pregnant?My husband will not be present at the trial.Thank you

Re: pregnant with man other than husband
A Tx. court won't grant you a divorce while you
are pregnant. And there are ways to find your
husband to give him notice of the divorce so
that there will never be a question about what
happened and the division of property and so
on ... Be sure to consult an attorney and best
to hire one ... Good Luck ...
Re: pregnant with man other than husband
If you are pregnant the law presumes the baby to
be you husband's child. Your divorce will not be
legal unless your husband claims (and pays child
support)the child in your womb or you get him to
deny the child is his and the child's biological
father to claim the pertinity. Call me I can help.
Re: pregnant with man other than husband
I think you need a lawyer to handle this. The state of Texas has a special form where all 3 of you sign a document that claims your husband is not the father - you can get a divorce after this document is signed but you must wait 30 days after divorce is final to remarry.
