My question involves paternity law for the State of: Washington
My husband and I have been separated since at least April 07 (the exact date is being argued with my atty, and is really more like 2004). I contested my husband's divorce petition (solely based on property division) in June of '08, and he failed to do paperwork, so the divorce was dismissed. I hired an atty in Feb '09, and it took 2 months to located the husband and serve him with divorce papers, and now he is contesting my petition.
So, I may not be divorced by the time I deliver my 1st baby in October '09. I have been with my boyfriend (who is the father) for 2.5 years. I am worried about complications of listing him on our baby's birth certificate at the hospital. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to make the process more simple? Does my husband's name automatically get entered? And will the birth certificate itself show that I was married to someone else?
Thanks in advance.
