So I'm 4 months pregnant with mine and my husbands 2nd child together and I found out acouple of weeks ago that he was having an affair. I offered to try to work things out and for us to get cousiling but he didn't want to be with me anymore. He has completely abandoned me and my son. He's not sending any kind of support to us and other than the occasional ';hows my son'; text message every week or so we don't hear from him at all. We live in texas and everyone I've talked to says that we can't get divorced while I'm pregnant and until we get divorced I can't file for any kind of child support but it seems like if you left your pregnant wife you would be responsible for something.....? Has anyone known anyone in my position, and what they did?Legal advice?
I would call a lawyer allot of times they will give u a free consult. but I would document ever thing from nice text to the mean ones. record all phone conversations. In Va only one party has too know they are being recorded. meaning yourself can know. just no third party recording. print out all emails and texts good or bad. good luck 2uLegal advice?
Are these who told you can't get divorce cause of pregnancies are they lawyers no there not. Pregnancy shouldn't have to do with any of a divorce. For you get divorce with someone is they did adultery,abandonment,cruelty and etc. I would be calling a lawyer and not listening what your family or friends are sayting. This husband of you did adulerty by cheating on you. I woud go for child support call a lawyer
Well first you definitely need to contact a lawyer, even if you can't get a divorce they can file something against him like legal separation and get child and spousal support for you. Second I would contact your local welfare office or your local social services and see if they can help you in anyway. He is responsible to supporting your son at least and the baby once it's born.
If a lawyer doesn't want to do it than go to welfare and believe me they will go after him themselves to get back whatever monies or help they have given you also try other places like WIC and so on.
Goodluck.
You can file for divorce, but they won't grant it until after the baby is born. At the VERY LEAST, file for legal separation so that his bills don't become part of the marital split.
There are many reasons to live in Texas, but their screwy laws and application of such is the reason why I axed moving to that state.
Divorce him! I am sorry but it is dumb to stay married... move to the next state if you have to try to get divorced! Then (if you've been married for at least 3 or 4 years) collect spousal support, child support, and get on assistances! go to www.freecycle.org and see if there is any availability for free stuff in your community or the closest big town/ city (I live in the fargo/ moorhead area (north dakota/ minnesota) the movie was way off on how we talk up here! Well I hope that you try something (go to school, ask your state for help go to your social services building and tell the financial workers your situation and ask for help and ask for some help to go to school too, in order to better your self and your childrens lives and get away from assistance sooner.
I don't know but you probably need to speak with a lawyer.
go to citizens advice or a lawyer and they should be able to tell you all the ins and outs of it and stop replying to his texts or tell him the kids would be better with some financial help.
You can get divorced while you are pregnant. You can get divorced at any time
Is 'everyone' you've talked to a lawyer? That sounds pretty ludacris that you can't file for divorce during pregnancy. You need to call a lawyer right away. He has a legal duty to help you out every month and if he's not doing that, you need to get a lawyer or paralegal to help you out. Don't listen to friends who think they know, you need to go to someone who does know. You are in a time of need right now and no one can tell you that you can't get what you need.
I have a friend who's husband cheated on her while she was pregnant, they are separated, not divorced, but she is receiving child support to this day until they file for divorce.
Please, for your sake, for a roof over your children's head, and your sanity, speak with a lawyer ASAP!
Good luck with everything.
