My husband and I have been separated for almost a year. When I got pregnant, he threatened to punch me in the stomach, so I left and moved back to my home state. He’s in the Air Force and says he doesn’t want a divorce because he gets more money for being married.
Now our baby is 2 months old — he’s never met the baby and doesn’t want anything to do with them. He told me that if I serve him divorce papers, he’s not going to admit we have a kid, and he said I should lie too. I told him I’m not lying on court documents. He says if I mention our child, he’ll be put on child support and I’ll be “ruining his life.”
I’m just trying to do what’s right for me and my baby. Has anyone dealt with something similar? What would you do in my situation?
