Allows the court to enter a judgment of dissolution of marriage or legal separation if a person is pregnant
HB 3180 ensures that pregnancy cannot block a court from finalizing a divorce (dissolution of marriage) or legal separation. It directly affects individuals seeking divorce or legal separation who are pregnant, removing pregnancy as a barrier to court decisions. The bill requires courts to consider custody, support, and property division as usual but explicitly states that "pregnancy status shall not prevent the court from entering a judgment." This change clarifies that pregnancy does not delay or invalidate divorce proceedings.
