What happens if you get pregnant before your divorce is final?
If you are married and wind up pregnant at any time prior to the divorce being finalized, the court or judge is going to “stay” (hold open) the court proceedings and not allow the divorce to go through until after the baby is born.
Can you sue someone for messing with your husband?
You, the paramour, can get hit with a lawsuit that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. They’re known as “alienation of affection” suits, when an “outsider” interferes in a marriage. The suits are allowed in seven states: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
How does a father legitimize his child?
The most common form of legitimation is when a child is born to a mother and father who are married. One way an illegitimate child can be legitimized is by the reputed father (meaning the man that is believed to be the father of the child) marries the child’s mother after the child’s birth (N.C.G.S. 49-12).
Can a mother refuse legitimation?
If you were never married to the mother of your children, Georgia law assigns all rights to custody and visitation to the mother. She is free to deny visitation until you file your legitimation case and get a court order. Contrary to popular belief, there is no presumption in favor of the mother.
Does marriage legitimize a child?
Automatic legitimacy occurs if you marry after the birth of the child or if you were married and divorced before the child’s birth. Legitimation establishes parental rights to a father to children who were born to unmarried parents.
