Legal Husband Won’t Sign To Disestablish Paternity

Location: Florida

Hello, I was married in California in 2023, we were together for a little over a year before I left him. We have been separated since November of 2024, I moved back home to Florida to get away from him. Anyway, he has made pursuing divorce absolute hell, he doesn’t want one. Has been in denial for over a year since I left him. When I returned to Florida to pursue divorce I was told that I could not file here because I hadn’t lived in state long enough to have jurisdiction. My husband had lived in California long enough to file there but refused, I was told I was unable to file through California because I couldn’t prove that I had lived there for six months prior to our separation. (We lived in Washington state working seasonal jobs, I changed my license over, he did not) I have since moved on and recently found out that I’m pregnant with another man’s child. I was unaware that because he is still my legal husband, he will be listed as the child’s father on my child’s birth certificate unless we are divorced before my baby is here in August 2026, which seems unlikely. I know of the option for him to sign to disestablish paternity but he is refusing to sign out of spite. What are my options here? Honestly, I’m in a really tough spot financially, can’t afford lawyers. This pregnancy was very unexpected and I worked in construction when I found out, I was let go three days after finding out. My child’s father is in the picture and obviously willing to help but it’s tough because he is now supporting myself and our child until I am able to find another job. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
