Does your name appear on the birth certificate? That could complicate matters. If a court enters an order of paternity against the man you believe is the biological father, then that should shield you from an order of support. Unfortunately, there are no absolute guarantees. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area to review this matter.

Whether or not you would get alimony depends on the terms of the prenuptial agreement.  If you have only been married a short time (two years) you would normally get only a very limited amount of alimony if any.  If the prenuptial agreement indicates that there would be no alimony, then you will get no alimony.  Usually a prenuptial agreement addresses the assets that each party brings to the marriage, not assets that are acquired after the marriage.  If you purchased two vehicles in both names after marriage, those vehicles are not covered by the prenuptial agreement. 

If your husband married someone else without first being divorced from you, he committed bigamy, which is a criminal offense.  Even if you and your husband have been separated for some time, if you have not received a Judgment of Divorce, he is still your husband and entitled to benefits as your husband, including, but not limited to, a share in your estate should you pass away before he does, social security benefits and others.  A divorce ensures your rights and interests are protected going forward.  The attorneys at Weinberger Law Group are experienced in representing clients through sensitive issues like yours and through divorce.  We are happy to assist you and make the divorce process as smooth as possible.  The attorneys at Weinberger Law Group offer a free initial consultation and can speak with you about your rights and options.  Call today (855-548-2157) to schedule your free initial consultation.
