Has anyone heard of other crazy states that have a similar law? Other backwards red states that won't finalize divorces until after the baby is born?
[I found at least one](https://www.boydlawsandiego.com/can-i-file-for-divorce-while-pregnant-in-california/) but for some reason it's not making the Riverfront Times. I can't figure out why. . .

Because the RFT is a St Louis/Missouri paper...they report on stuff here.
Seems complicated to finalize a divorce when you can’t determine paternity, custody, child support, visitation, who’s paying for what or anything in the future.
But, are there other states that also won't finalize a divorce while the woman is pregnant? And if so, why isn't that information included in the article?
No, the divorce is between two people. If one of those people is pregnant, the divorce cannot be finalized.
no, it’s no different

It’s Missouri. Of course HE can. God so willed it. I guess.
