Where , and how can I find a pro bono lawyer to take my daughter's case

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet

Do a search on the internet for "legal aid" and the city where your daughter lives. That's the best place to start.

Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
You may certainly file for divorce.  Once you file, there is a 60 day waiting period before you may finalize the divorce.  You may either hire an attorney to represent you in the case or you may try to do it yourself using forms that you find online or elsewhere. Grounds for divorce may be "insupportability" which means that you are not able to get along in a marriage. There are very restrictive and limited grounds for annulment, but perhaps you meet them.  1. Under age 18. 2. Under the influence at marriage ceremony. 3.  Impotency of spouse. 4.  Fraud, duress or force. 5.  Mental incapacity. 6.  Concealed divorce. 7. Marriage less than 72 hours after license issued. For each of these, once you discovered the problem you must no longer cohabit with the spouse. Divorce divides any property accumulated during the marriage or confirms that each spouse's property in his or her possession is her separate property.  Annulment only treats the marriage as never existing and no property is divided or confirmed.

What does court require to prove child is not the husband's child?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)

The court will require a DNA test of the child and the putative father. You will have to ask for a court order for the testing to be done. The wife will not be able to refuse that. If you want to make sure that you don't pay child support, ask the court to hold off on a final decree until the baby is born and the DNA tests are performed. I suppose it is possible that the court could grant the divorce and keep jurisdiction over the case until the child is born.
