Hello everyone,
I'm new here and I'm restlessly looking for some guidance. My wife and I have been separated for over an year and half now and we had applied for a mutual divorce. The date of hearing would be in the first week of coming August. Now, in this time of separation, she informed me that she had concieved and is expecting to deliver her child (not from me) in Nov. For this reason she would not be able to attend the court date and she was leaving to stay with her parents in another state. Further she was unsure about when she will be able to come back, leaving me in doldrums. I don't know what is the best way to handle this situation. Can anyone please suggest if any of the following is possible or if there are any better ways:
1. Can I call a commission and take the lawyers and judges to the state that she is in now and have the mutual divorce done on the coming August date without delaying further?
2. Since she has become pregnant with someone else's child, can I appeal to get the marriage nullified? Is it possible in this case when she had conceived while we were separated? If yes, what is the procedure for such a case?
3. I know that I can go for an ex-parte order where she will recieve the notices but not appear in court for some time. But how long does that take? And can she come back later on to challenge the ex-parte order?
Are there any other alternatives I can avail to get a smooth divorce as soon as possible. Please help...
