If you have filed for divorce, you have the right to ask for half of all the marital assets, child support for any children that are under the age of 18, and alimony.  How much you receive in the form of assets, child support and alimony will depend on the facts and circumstances of your marriage, what type, and how many assets you have acquired during the marriage, etc.  It does not matter if assets are in only your husbands name, you are still entitled to half of all marital assets.  The amount of any child support and alimony will depend on the financial circumstances of you and your husband, in particular how much each of you earns or is capable of earning, as well as you and your husbands individual financial needs. These issues may be ultimately determined by a judge or agreed upon between you and your husband at a mediation. If your husband filed for divorce, you should file a counter petition and ask for half of the marital assets, child support (if  you have children under 18) and alimony.

Nebraska is a no-fault state. How assets are divided depends on the length of the marriage and financial condition/earning powers of the parties, if any minor children are involved, etc. Even in states where fault (such as adultery) is a factor, generally that does not mean the injured spouse gets "everything". A prenuptial agreement giving one spouse "everything" in a divorce would likely be unenforceable. I think you may want to follow up on what you are being told by this "gentleman"...it may very well be an excuse to not divorce and continue his relationship with you. In any event, if you do continue your relationship with him and he eventually divorces and you decide to get married, make sure you get a prenuptial agreement.

It is not something that you are going to be prosecuted for. When a wife gives birth during a marriage, the child is presumed to be that of the husband.
