More than likely a Default Judgment for money will go down against you. The Judgment Creditor can then require you to go to Court to give sworn testimony where your money is, or go to jail for Contempt. Go to the Court Hearing.

You do not have to put your husband's name on the birth certificate. But if you're still legally married there is a presumption that he is the biological fater. In fact that would be a bad idea for him to sign anything if you know he's not the biological father. More information... View More
