Q: My daughter(23) lives in Tenn. and is pregnant by a married man.
She is girlfriend to both husband and wife. Is there any legal ramifications she or the couple may face from this situation?
A: Legal ramification? Not really. It sounds like the arrangement is known and consented to by all concerned. Your daughter must understand, though, that in Michigan, a person can only be married to one other person at a time. And so she will not be this man's spouse - and will not have the legal protections of a spouse (i.e. he or they can kick your daughter out most anytime if they are all living together now) - unless or until he and the wife get divorced and he chooses to marry her.
