As  far as the divorce issue is concerned, if you do not want to remain his  wife you can just ask for divorce and file for it legally. A court  settlement will also take care of your and your baby&#8217;s expenses.<\/p>\n<p>However, you must name the baby  by adding his actual father&#8217;s name &#8212; because however much your husband  may deny it, he is your baby&#8217;s father. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from this, if you think that you  want to prove your innocence before the society (for this case may  become public knowledge), you can challenge your husband to go for a DNA  test to prove you wrong<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Dr. Shehzad Saleem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-13<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6276\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  was married to my husband in September and got pregnant immediately  after.
