Question:

My name is Pham Thi Linh, I have a question looking for advice and assistance from a lawyer. I got married in early 2015 and had a 20-month-old granddaughter and now I'm pregnant with my second nephew at 34 weeks gestation. We decided to divorce because of an unhappy marriage. If I get a divorce now, will I be able to raise my daughter and the soon to be born child? Thank you sincerely!
