Was the prenup to protect you or him?
Spousal support may still be available.
Always dangerous to not have a lawyer.
His getting a default judgment costs you nothing but 1/2 the attorney fees are your problem, unless your attorney negotiates otherwise.

You can get a divorce even if you aren't sure of his current address. It's always best to attempt to locate an address for him, however. If you don't know where he is, the process takes longer and is more costly. Feel free to give me a call and I'll be happy to discuss the... View More

There is no divorce on grounds of abandonment. 5he grounds available to you are:
6 months separation,
Physical abuse,
Adultery,
Conviction of a felony.
Your attorney can however file for spousal support.

I suggest hiring an attorney to handle his divorce to ensure that it is done correctly. If a divorce is not done correctly, the parties may end up still legally married.

She and I have been separated since the last part of September 2018. She just left and has moved in with a man in Washington state. I am waiting for the six months so I can file for the divorce.

I had my child for another man while i am still married even though me and my husband are separated so I wanted to ask who is legally responsible for doing for my child?

A pro bono lawyer can't handle every thing you need done. So get either your husband or the baby's daddy to help you hire a lawyer to:
1) file a Petition for Divorce,
2) file a 3 Way Acknowledged Act of Paternity or Petition to Disavow.
