Re: Divorce While Pregnant
You need to be honest with your attorney.
It's possible for all of you to get together, sign the correct forms and have your husband's legal paternity disestablished as part of the divorce action.
The LAST thing you want to do is lie or conceal such an important fact.
Re: Divorce While Pregnant
I do not want to keep anything from my attorney but again does he have the legal obligation to stop the divorce if I tell him? My husband is several states away so no we could not all meet, and I really dont want him to know any more of my personal business than he needs to.
Re: Divorce While Pregnant
Unfortunately, you got pregnant while still married, so it's not going to stay a secret from your husband. From a legal standpoint, this child will LEGALLY belong to your husband, even if you two were on different planets for the last 50 years, until and unless the courts get involved to change that fact - either by your husband addressing it as part of the divorce, or by the actual father stepping forward to establish paternity - neither of which can happen until the child is born. For this reason, the divorce cannot be finalized until AFTER the birth (when your husband's AUTOMATIC paternity can be DISestablished). Your attorney can't protect your interests without knowing ALL of the facts, and the sooner, the better.
