Q: I am separated in NC since november, I just found out that my separated spouse is pregnant by another man, what do I do?
She and I separated November 12th 2017, I found out she got pregnant by another man in January 2018, does this change anything? We currently have 4 children together that I want split custody of that she doesn't want me to have, how should I handle this?
A: The best way to handle it is for you and her to agree to something fair and have that agreement formalized in a written Separation Agreement that will resolve all of your marital issues in preparation for divorce. We can guide you through that process very affordably with a flat rate fee of $250 for an average couple. Otherwise if you end up duking it out in Court, all you are really doing is paying strangers often quite a bit of money to make decisions for you that you and your spouse could have made yourselves for free. However, sometimes you simply can not agree and if so you need to consult with a local family law attorney ASAP to start batten down the hatches and preparing for a contested divorce. Best of luck.
