My wife moved out with her son (from previous relationship) in March. I was left to care for our daughter. I want a divorce, but can not currently afford it, as I am barely making enough money for rent, childcare, food, etc., plus it does not help that my wife does not have a job, which means I get no child support. I am in the process of moving into a better situation which will allow me to have more money, so I figured I could file towards mid-October. State law says the divorce is not final until half a year after the original filing, so about April 2005.

She told me yesterday she is 17 weeks pregnant, due around mid February. To my knowledge the dad is out of the picture.

I was thinking that this doesn't really concern me, other than my daughter is going to have ANOTHER half-sibling. But, I mentioned her pregnancy to my daughter's day care provider, and she said that as long as we are legally married this is legally my kid, especially if the real dad is out of the picture.

Now, I ask, does anyone know if this is true? I can offer more details if desired.

Thanks.
