Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. You are not responsible to pay child support if the the child is NOT yours. You will likely have to wait until the child is born to have the partnity test. You can file for divorce BEFORE the child is born. in other words, you do not have to wait till the child is born to get legally divorced. If you are not the father, and the real father fails to take responsibility, you are NOT obligated to step in under any circumstances.
