You can file the petition for divorce and go through the initial proceedings, but the court will not grant or finalize the divorce until after the child has been born. Most divorces generally take four to six months to complete (unless the matter is totally agreed to between the parties), so depending upon how far along you are in your pregnancy, it might not delay the matter significantly. I would be glad to visit with you concerning your options and the steps you would need to take to move forward. If interested in visiting, please contact my office.
