Re: Forced to sign seperation
Better arrange for a consultation with an attorney who understands and has experience with the domestic relations laws of the Commonwealth and with securing the rights of clients under these laws, and who should be able to explain what your rights are under the situation which you've described as well as a feasible course of legal action(s) that you might wish to pursue in order to secure those rights, not only for yourself but also for your soon-to-be-born child.
