During my marriage, after years of abuse and seperation...my husband and I went to court to get divorced so I thought was the case. He didn't want to persue it and now we are still together. He hasn't physically hurt me (as of yet) but the mental torment is still there... as I stated before " it isn't getting any better"
My question now is:
During our seperation,knowing we were getting divorced...he and I began to date other people(i'm NOT saying it was the right thing to do on both parts,but we did) I ended up getting pregnant! I told my husband I still wanted to go through with the divorce and the child was not his.
He still insisted we stay together and that he believed it was his.
Well she was born and of another race. It was obvious it was not his but he still gave her his last name and is on her birth certificate. She is now 5yrs old.
I am now at the point where I really can't hang on to this anymore.
I looked up our case and found that it is still considered active.
I have NO MONEY to afford an attorney..he still controls the finances..I have no accounts in my name and am not on his accounts..I was denied free legal assistance,because I can't prove that I can't afford the help because we are still together in the same home...Does anyone know if there are still attorneys that do PRO BONO work anymore.
I tried to get a job around the time of my previous post til this day and have been ucsuccessful partly because of the recession and mostly because my husband wants to control what type of work I do or if there will be any benefit from the job I get. He works and when I asked him if he could request a different shift so I could work around our kids going to school, he told me NO to figure it out by myself.(But yet he complains that I am not working!!)
Will a judge order him to pay child support for her as well as the others even if a dna test is taken since he is on her birth certificate and has raised her as his own? He is all she knows as a father.
Also..If I want to move to another city in Texas(closer to my side of the family for help once I leave because he has closed me off from my family or friends...No one ever visits me or calls me. He won't allow it)....since the case is still active where I am now, does this mean I have to stay here.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFORMATION I MAY GET FROM YOU ALL!! REALLY, THANKS__________________
