Introduced Text

Missouri HB2337 allows courts to enter judgments for dissolution of marriage or legal separation regardless of pregnancy status.

Missouri HB2337 modifies existing law to ensure that a person's pregnancy status does not prevent a court from entering a judgment of dissolution of marriage or legal separation. The bill specifies that the court can proceed with judgments even if a party is pregnant, ensuring that pregnancy does not hinder the legal process. It also outlines the necessary information to be included in petitions for dissolution or legal separation, such as the parties' residences, the date of marriage, and the names and ages of any children involved.
