Pregnant with boyfriend yet still legally married to estranged abusive husband...
Currently residing in CA
I left my estranged husband in 09' due to domestic violence. Since then, both he and I have moved on and had no contact, but we never actually got around to filing for a divorce. We are not legally separated; we just don't have anything to do with each other especially since he was a batterer. I met and became involved with someone else in Feb 10' and together, my boyfriend and I moved from KS to CA in 11' to start a new life. My boyfriend has always known that I'm still "legally" married to my ex, but he doesn't care as we both feel that it is nothing more than a meaningless piece of paper. My estranged husband is also in a serious relationship with another woman and he still lives in KS. Here's my issue: I am now 7 months pregnant with my boyfriends baby (this will be my very first child) and we are very excited and in love - but since I am still technically married to my estranged husband, I want to know if/how I can get a no hassle uncontested divorce (which I know he will agree to) if that is possible before the baby arrives at the end of November. I want to be able to put my boyfriends name on the birth certificate, without issue, as he is the rightful father. What can I do?
Thanks.
