What if your Texas divorce petition states that no children are expected but the wife is currently pregnant?

In: Divorce and Marriage Law

[Edit]

Answer

I�d recommend talking to an attorney about how to remedy the problem. According to Texas law (family code, chapter 160), a man is presumed to the father of a child if "he is married to the mother of the child and the child is born before the 301st day after the date the marriage is terminated by death, annulment, declaration of invalidity, or divorce" Your name could end up being placed on that birth certificate (since you are the presumed father) making you the legal father, and it could cause you a great deal of time/trouble/expense to try to correct it later.
