Yes, you can divorce a pregnant wife in Texas. The laws don't mention pregnancy at all.

No, it will not be kidnapping,unless there is a court order that states that he has custody, but if you want to move, you need to do it right away.  I live in Texas, and you have to live here for 6 months to establish residency before you can file for divorce and custody.  You can file in any county the children reside in.  Just as an added note- if this man is hostile- in Texas it IS legal to record telephone conversations without the other person knowing about it.  This should be helpful to you, since you say he is hostile, yu can definitely get him on tape saying mean things to you, and you can use that in court.  Hope this helps. You do not need his permission to leave where you are, you can go where ever you want with the children. Would probably be best to file a restraining order, or order of protection against him as soon as you get to Texas.  This is a legal and temporary way to keep him from being hostile towards you, and if he tries to take the children from you.  It can be done in a few minuted by a Justic of the Peace.  But, you do not need to waste any time, and move as quickly as possible!

So, he has a conditional residency right now? If he does, and you guys got a divorce before the two years, he loses it. There's a reason they put conditions on it, they want to make sure the marriage was authentic and not just to get his residency. I don't know if there's anything he can do because this is going to look bad in the eyes of the BCIS. BUT you are the U.S. citizen, so it's more likely that the court will grant YOU the custody.

I say she is cheating and divorce rather than separate. I have been there...my ex husband did this. It is an easy way to ask for a divorce. LL.

I was watching a top divorce lawyer on the wright stuff this morning!!!\n\nWell a woman called in and she asked,"would she be entitled to anything, she lived with her partner for "9 YEARS" and had a young child with him and the answer to that was "NO"\n\nYou will have to pay for the child of course.

she will have to divorce. Their marriage is legal as long as they married "de civil" by the law. Alot of couples from mexico may say "mi esposo/esposa" (my husband or wife) and that they are married, when they are only living together. Make sure that they are actually married. If they are by the law in Mexico, they will need to divorse, otherwise they cannot think about getting their papers here.

This could be flipped the other way as well.  Say she wants to keep it and he doesn't. All of the sudden, he doesn't feel responsible for the child because SHE made the decision to keep it.  The whole debate is unfair, but there's nothing we really can do about it.  Utimately, the person carrying the child gets the decision.  I don't think the man could get too upset about her decision, unless he agreed to take full responsibility for the child.

I think I understand you correctly, but I'm not sure.  You knocked her up, & now you want to make her miscarry?  If that's the case, I don't know what to tell you.  If a woman doesn't want to carry the kid, she can abort it.  If she doesn't want to abort it, but neither of you want to be saddled with that responsibility, she can put it up for adoption.  However, if you don't want to be stuck with it, you're essentially screwed.  You have no legal recourse to make her get rid of a baby.  Don't feel obligated to get married because she might be pregnant, though.  Oldest trick in the book.  You should stop having sex with her now, & insist on a paternity test.  Then, if she has the kid, & proves it is yours, the courts will make you take responsibility for the kid & pay child support without having to marry her.  Then, if you want visitation, you could go to court & set up a schedule, but otherwise, you can let her raise the child as she sees fit, & fulfill your financial obligation.  But first, make sure she is pregnant, & make sure it is your kid.  Never marry some girl because she says she's pregnant.  This may come as a shock, but she could be lying to you.  People do lie, & women have lied about being pregnant to get a husband for a long time.  Don't allow yourself to be forced into something you aren't ready for & don't want to do.  Pay for your mistake, if you truly made it, but don't put the kid through having a dad at home who resents the hell out of its mom for trapping him in a marriage he didn't want.  Just send the checks.  If you marry her without the paternity test, or send payments without proof it is yours, the law where you are may say you're screwed anyway because you took responsibility for the kid.  Tread carefully, & good luck.

being pregnant makes hormones go crazy (but you're the mom so you know that).  it might be the relationship she's having with the childs father that's irritating her.  not enough info really to say one way or the other.  but i bet it has something to do with that.  this is her 2nd????  but with a diffrent man than the first???  if so, there's another issue.  it can be hard to try and maintain a relationship with a guy and juggling responsibility with the child you have by another relationship.  and if the 2nd guy has kids by someone else.......................my point is, it could be that simple.  just relax.  don't worry yourself, it may not be as complicated as you think.  (i mean a real mental health issue and the need for drugs etc.....)

=Texas there are two grounds for a no-fault divorce. (1) the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that has destroyed the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation; or (2) living separate and apart without cohabitation for 3 years. [Texas Codes Annotated; Family Code, Chapters 6.001 and 6.006].\n\nClick on the link below for a very informative site. Best wishes

This has happened to a friend of mine as well.  She finally got a reprieve that lasted over a year because, by luck of the draw, they came before the same judge for the third time.  This judge, after looking over the history and realizing he drug her into court every 6 months, told him she was sick of seeing him for phony excuses so doubled his child support!  Then, he waited 18 months to drag her into court again (when usually he drug her in every 6 months!).  The support was lowered because my friend agreed to it but it was not lowered all the way.  He still drags her into court on a regular basis but he runs the risk of hitting this judge again.\n\nI have no idea how you can manage to get the same judge on a continuous basis...which would be a great way to go!  Ask your attorney if there is anyway to put an end to this madness.  My friend was told that there is not but I imagine that might depend on the state you are in.\n\nModification:\nTo the uninformed person above, what makes you think she DID anything?  My friend did nothing to deserve this and I doubt  this person did either.  What happened was marrying someone who ended up being a controller!  A controller can't let go and so will hang on and make your life as miserable as possible...the woman didn't do anything to him but he isn't about to let anyone else have her.  He wants to maintain control over her entire life.  Don't presume when you don't know the entire story.

If she's been living with this guy for more than 7 years than by state law, he is her husband although they are not legally married.  He would get everything unless a will is drafted.  But even wills can be contested, she needs a "living trust" which is undisputable.

Unfortunately, under Ohio law if the wife is pregnant, a married couple cannot get divorced until the baby is born. It doesn't even matter if she is pregnant by the husband or someone else!

leaving to a friends house is not kidnapping. and call his bluff, if you take care of them just as well if not better, they wont just give full custody to someone. most states are joint physical custody anyway...good luck...

He needs to get in contact with the child support agency that his is sending his money to.  And a lawyer,  if he has visitation rights.  Than he has the right to know where his child is and to see them.  The cops are just going to say that they can't do anything unless he has full custody.  Go to the court and talk to the judge that signed the visitation order.  They may be able to help know what he signed and what to do.  He should have never signed something that  he didn't completely understand.  I did that, and the people ended up getting full custody of my son and took off with him,  When they and their lawyers told me over and over that I was signing a temporary custody agreement.  Legal papers are so confusing even to very smart people.  Keep standing behind him and helping your man.  I commend you for being a real woman, and hold on to your hope and strength.  Because it may take time and money that you think that you don't have.  But every thing will work out for you.

Wow. The law even allows your wife to get a divorce if you don't want to. Isn't it crazy how women have rights these days?\n\nHonestly, though, don't you think it would be terrible to force a woman to have your child?
