What happens to marital debt in divorce?
As part of the divorce judgment, the court divides the couple’s debts and assets, while deciding who is responsible for paying specific bills. Each state has its own laws for dividing debts and assets. Some states consider the assets and debts each spouse brought into the marriage.
Can a married man sign another woman’s birth certificate?
It is not against the law for a married man to sign a birth certificate to another woman’s baby. If he is the biological father, he should sign the birth certificate.
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 I divorce my wife if she is pregnant by another man?
