What the fuck‽
I remember when California had law like this. The spirit of the law was basically judicial efficiency: The state didn't want two different hearings for divorce and child custody, so if a baby was on the way they wanted to wait so that all details of the divorce could be decided at once.
Of course, enforcement of this law is awful for women absent any other measures to protect them from abuse, so California wisely repealed the law.
No chance a red state will give a shit about women enough, unfortunately. This will be deliberately used to harm women.
I'm embarrassed for my state.
Let me guess: also one of those states where you can't charge your spouse for rape either.
The article makes it clear that the intent of the legislation was more positive, albeit fraught, than many seem to think from the text here alone. However, it is clear to most that it is misapplied in many cases. It also goes on that there is recently introduced, currently pending legislation to improve the situation. Let’s hope it succeeds.
Can’t you just lie and say you are not pregnant? By the time they prosecuted you wouldn’t be pregnant anymore. Also, fuck Missouri
Divorce takes several months and even years. You'd definitely be showing long before. Plus I'm sure this will lead to requiring women to be tested for pregnancy before they can even file for divorce. Remember, Handmaids Tale levels of control over women is their ultimate goal hear.

I want to know what happens if you're 3 weeks pregnant or something when you file and you don't know you're pregnant yet. Does this law annul such a divorce?
