Modifies provisions relating to dissolution of marriage or legal separation and pregnancy status

Summary

The measure repeals existing Missouri statutes on divorce and legal separation and replaces them with new rules that require a 90‑day residency and a 30‑day waiting period, but expressly state that pregnancy cannot block a judgment. It also sets detailed filing requirements, child‑custody provisions, and eliminates old defenses to divorce. The bill failed to pass after a committee hearing.
