I knew a guy that got stuck that way. He had been separated from his wife for 5 years and lived in California while she lived in Idaho. She called him up and said she wanted to finalize their divorce because she was pregnant and was going to marry the baby’s father. He shows up in court with his lawyer and she with hers. They judge looked at her and said there’s a child involved so her lawyer spoke up and said it was the fiancé’s child, but the judge hung 18 years of support on my friend because they were still married. the attorneys tried to argue with the judge, but he didn’t care and stated that Idaho law says that if there’s a child in a divorce, the husband is deemed to be the father.
But couldn’t they voluntarily waive it, since the fiancé wants to be the fire?
His lawyer didn’t know about this?
