Adds that a legally married minor may file a petition for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or declaration of invalidity of marriage without parental or guardian consent

HB 1021 allows legally married minors (under 18) to file for divorce, legal separation, or annulment without needing consent from a parent or guardian. This directly affects minors who are already married and wish to end their marriage through court proceedings. The bill amends court procedures to explicitly permit minors to initiate these cases independently, removing a prior requirement for parental/guardian approval. The change applies specifically to cases under sections 452.300 to 452.415 of the state code.
