Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

I know a man who filed for divorce in October. It is now December and he was told that his case would probably be concluded in February. Now, the soon to be ex-wife is stating that she is pregnant. What can she do once she has signed the final papers that are being filed?

I was served an "Original Petition for Divorce" and returned "A Written Reponse to the Original Petition for Divorce" to the Bexar County Courthouse. Included in that written response was a settlement agreement. I live in San Diego and am corresponding with the plaintiff's attorney and the court. I received yesterday a filed stamped copy of the Motion to set on the Non-Jury Docket. The hearing is set for January 26, 2006 at 9:00 A.M., in the Presiding District Court. Remembering that I do not live in the state and have been corresponding, what are my options to this motion and am I compelled to attend? If I am not in attendance may the court stipulate to settlement, child support, visitation matters? Or is the hearing limited to setting a date?

I was widowed 7 years ago: 3 Children 7,14,20 (Now) Married 5 1/2 years ago for less than 4 years. Have no children with second wife. Provisional 600 - Maintenance 600 - Rent Prescriptions - 250 average a month All Credit Card Minimum balance (20000 all in her name charged after seperation) Divorce dragging along with contempts, continuations etc. I am on my 3 and 4th final hearings. What rules of the court do I have regarding having 2 children (widowed) and she has none. Judge does not seem to care about me raising children since I make 79000 and she doesn't work. She applied for Social Security benefits and is supposed to have an appeal date soon. Won't disclose information. She is seeking 1100 a month in maintenance, COBRA and me paying her credit cards she charged when she left. I re-financed house before she left and we paid her credit card debt, she took 14000 cash. Seems I am being taken to the cleaners and I am about to lose my house that was mine for 5 years before her and I put her name on after a year of marriage. No equity in home. (120000 owed, 89900 fair market) There doesn't seem to be any laws to protect the widowed chidren and I from losing everything.
