Lucky for you, Texas no longer has Alienation of Affection laws.
But I'm sure he will be in for one he** of a fight with the divorce. STBX can drag it out and cost him a fortune.

Does he have children from that relationship? You can expect him to cheat on you quite frankly. You can expect him to eventually leave you. And you can expect that your child by him will get less child support than the children he has with his stbx wife.

Not to mention, is he for sure the father of your child? He might play that card on you at some point too. I would establish paternity the second that baby is born.

Unless she files for CS NOW and receives an order prior to the wife filing.

So what are you asking as to how this will effect you. In what way are you
asking this will effect you?

That is IF the baby is born. I was reading it as though OP was still pregnant. Which if she is she cannot file for child support.

My question is through the legal affects, and the child is his the child was born 3 years ago and I do not plan to file for CS. He has accepted patternity of the child and signed birthcertificate.

Why WOULDN"T YOU file for CS? He should be financially supporting his child.

Are you in lala land or something?! File for that support - bank it if you don't need it - Daddy should participate in some fashion here...if nothing else, a college education is the elast the child is owed. Pride is one thing - but too much of anything is not a good thing!

Get ready for a can of whoop ass. Every disgruntled divorcee on this board is going hammer you for suggesting that a non custodial parent has obligations for college. (They don't, and parents don't - you are talking about a moral obligation not a legal one)

I take exception to the idea that it is "disgruntled divorcees" that are going to have an issue with the idea of a parent paying for college. Married couples do not have a legal obligation and neither should divorced couples. However if OP wants to bank child support and put it towards college, that is a different story.

There are many legal effects that effect you, and your child., such as: Medical, Food, Shelter, Education, [a messy divorce] and
so on, and so forth! Are you a legal Citizen of the United States?

Though none of my business, but did you know you were having an affair with a married man; and un-protected sex on top of that?

Lastly, is the Birth Certificate he signed filed properly with your State/County/City Vital Statistics department[s]?
Or to whatever Department this very valuable document needs to be filed with?

This helps to establish the legitimacy, and paternity of the child.

Unhappy

Well I understand that the father should have an obligation to the child, Financially the child will always be fine there is no question about that. I'am a legall resident of this country and I do understand that I have rights, the only reason why I'm avoiding this situation is because I do not want my child in the middle of this mess. I did not know he was still married till after my child came. the STBE is very violent, in the begining she thretend me and my child, and im scared since i think she is capable of this things.

Okay, so, how long did you know him before you got pregnant? Where do you think he went at night?

This is ridiculous. HIS CHILD WILL GET DRAGGED INTO HIS DIVORCE. If he was married to YOU, HIS CHILD WOULD STILL GET DRAGGED INTO THIS.

You're concerned about your child, but you haven't gone for child support? What are you concerned about?
