MO HB1908

Pregnancy status shall not prevent a court from entering a judgment of dissolution of marriage or legal separation in Missouri

Petitions for dissolution or legal separation must disclose whether the wife is pregnant, but this disclosure cannot be used to delay proceedings

Repeals and replaces sections 452.305 and 452.310 of Missouri Revised Statutes governing marriage dissolution and legal separation requirements

Courts must still meet existing requirements before entering judgment: 90-day state residency, 30-day waiting period after filing, and provisions for child custody, support, maintenance, and property disposition
