Can I get a divorce from wife even though she is pregnant?
Asked on Mar 06th, 2014 on Divorce - Ohio
More details to this question:
I have been married for almost 3 years to a Japanese woman, we have one son. I had finally decided to get a divorce when she tells me that she is pregnant. Is it possible for me to obtain a divorce even though she is 6 weeks pregnant? I don't want to live with her another 7 months, and I plan to move back inland.

The pregnancy will not prevent you from filing for dissolution. If there is no question of parentage there should be no delays in the process.

Yes you can get a divorce but you will be responsible for the new baby also.

Yes, but you will both have to attest to the fact that this is your child and you will have to pay support, part of the cost of the pregnancy etc.

You may file for divorce and even get temporary orders, but no divorce until the child is born.

There is nothing that would stop you from filing a dissolution action.

Yes, you can get divorced. It sounds like you don't really care about custody, so you may want to just agree that when the child is born, your child support will go up by X.

You can file the divorce but you will not be able to finalize it until the child is born since they will need to determine parental rights,and child support. If you do not believe the child is yours, you may also want to seek a paternity test after the child is born.
