I have been in Plan B for a month as H still sees OW. I am going for a consultation today. I want to know my rights before I have my baby in August and be prepared. Any advice would be appreciated. I have some ideas but don't want to miss any since it is quite expensive.
Thanks in advance!

There are the obvious ones
Child support
Visitation
Spousal support while separated
access to the “family” home
Then there are less obvious ones
Debt incurred – who’s responsible?
What if he files first, does he have an advantage?
Is there a waiting period?
Does you state have legal separation?
And if you are planning to divorce, there are a slew of others. If you are going to divorce, you will need your h’s social security number.
The baby is due in August? Congrats. Luckily that’s long enough for him to get straightened out.
My cousin left his wife when she was 7 months pregnant. He was having an EA. Luckily, he saw the light of day and has been making it up to her and they’re two girls.
I wish you the best.

Thanks for the response. That gives me some hope. I hate being in limbo. When did your brother come back? What plan were they in? Any other details?
My H has been gone for a month. He has said all of the fog stuff about being in love with OW. He is also introducing her to people. His family and friends are not supportive.

Some men are very scared of fatherhood. I don't know how long the affair is, but it could be his "exit" affair.
There are many good books on questions for atty's, and on working through a divorce. Parenting is difficult, and divorce or marital recovery is emotional. Stay strong, eat well and stay healthy.
Good Luck.
