Missouri HB1908 allows courts to dissolve marriages or grant legal separations regardless of pregnancy status.

Missouri HB1908 modifies the criteria for dissolving marriages or granting legal separations. It allows courts to enter such judgments even if one party is pregnant. The bill specifies that a court can dissolve a marriage if one party has been a resident of the state for ninety days and thirty days have passed since the petition was filed. It also allows for legal separation if the marriage is not irretrievably broken.
