What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

ive been married for three years and we both really want a divorce, but i am pregnant. if i file for divorce fast enough, do i have to let him have parental rights of the baby? i dont want nothing to do with him.

you don't have to let him. the STATE lets him have rights. it comes with depositing sperm and your choice not to terminate the pregnancy. so too late. you're stuck with him for the next 18 years+

is there anyway to get divorced without a lawyer?
you may absolutely get a divorce without a lawyer. you will need to study the law of your state. i suggest your local law library, self help books at the library, the self help center at your local courthouse.

however, it will be very complicated with a child, even more complicated if there is property, marital assets, and/or debts involved.

what STATE are you in????

depends on the state, if the state does not allow you a divorce until AFTER the baby is born, then no. hubby will be legal dad until he is disestablished and a DNA dad is established.

Being a slut can change things IF the actual father fights to establish paternity OR your husband decides to disestablish paternity. YOU don't get a right to dictate that. Your rights to determine daddy ended when you decided to keep the baby and not abort. Paternity is NOT your decision at THIS juncture.

Unless you can give birth faster then the divorce will NOT get decided/ended faster. Unless of course you abort. Because until the baby is born or ceases to exist you will not be completely divorced. That is the soonest.

poo. alright. thanks for the help though!
Poo?? You are going to be a mother and your response is poo??

Non-legal advice. Do not keep this child. Place him/her with an adoption agency and let actual grown-ups adopt and parent this poor child.
