| | | Divorcing your husband and marrying the baby's father springs to mind... |

| | | I agree, you should have divorced as soon as you separated or got a new bf! But you need to file for divorce now. |

| | | the real question I appreciate the advise to get a divorce, yes that will happen eventually when i can find him, however in the mean time i would like to know if the new baby is considered my husbands, or if the father can claim his child.  |

| | | Your husband would most likely be assumed to be the father. Your b/f would have to file for a paternity test.
What a mess.
