Q: filled for divorce myself in Jan. Since I’ve found out I’m pregnant. What will happen at first court date
What can I expect from first court date? Found out I’m pregnant since self filling in January. Have been separated since August 2019. Baby is not his. Will I have to name my baby’s father in court? Also husband has since claimed me and my son on his 2019 taxes my son is not his. I have received no money and he got out stimuls checks. I’m asking for reimbursement as well.
A: You don’t be able to be divorced until after the baby is born bc your husband is presumed to be the father since you’re married. Once the child is born, dna testing can be performed and paternity established, thereby releasing your husband from liability.
