Where did you see that “they” (who is they?) are working on no bank account should be owned by a woman? Link, source?

What does that have to do with the timing for divorce? Let the parents decide if they want to do automatic or paternity test. Dad can give his paternity sample with the divorce papers. There is not real need for this law in this day and age. Also, many states simply allow the father to sign an acknowledgement form, which also can be filed with the divorce papers. There are many less draconian ways to address this same issue.

Then change the law but don't state this is some new perverse way that republicans are forcing women, and only women, to stay married. Because that is a flat out lie. Mis/dis information in your parlance if you will.

Separation without cohabitation for at least six months, if the separation is mutual and voluntary (in other words, if you and your spouse agree to separate), OR Separation without cohabitation for at least one year, if one of you does not agree to the separation and divorce, then the required separation period is one year.

These are DC divorce rules.

Why aren’t they letting the woman decide?

Why are they making the woman wait? She should receive an instant divorce from her rapist.

In DC if a woman is married, and she wants a divorce, if her husband (rapist and abuser) doesn’t want a divorce, he can delay it up to a year.

It's not draconian to make someone wait nine months before divorcing - a length of time many states will make you wait even if you aren't pregnant.

Well for one most states want you to wait before you finalize at least a year.

But more to the point it’s good for the father to be there while legally married and able to deal with paternity tests. If a woman is getting a divorce and she’s pregnant chances are she either cheated and the Kid isn’t his ir once divorced he won’t have the legal recourse to get equal custody.

What’s preventing him from taking a paternity test if they divorce?

How does he not have legal recourse to get shared custody if the test comes back positive?

Why do other states not seem to be stymied by allowing a divorce before birth?

I know democrats have issues with understand basic biology, so try and follow along....pregnancy lasts 9 months. In the oh-so-blue state of Maryland there is a year waiting period between separation and divorce.

So the wife could conceive on the last night before the separation and will have given birth before ANYONE is allowed a divorce.

This affects both the man and the woman. And while I wholeheartedly agree that Maryland is a nanny state for other reasons, this isn't one of them.

Yes, and if the year waiting period is about to end and a woman becomes pregnant right around then she can still get her divorce without having to extend it another 9 months. As it should be.

Wonderful for domestic violence no exceptions

And they are now working on no bank accounts should be owned by women

Vote red as a female brain dead

The law you are claiming is a new law has been a law since 1973.

Op, why are you claiming this is a new law?

Maybe to spread disinformation? Are you russian?

It’s obvious they’re a DNC paid operative. There’s a lot of them on this site and they rely on low information others.

+1 they are definitely trying to make women feel under attack but this law is to protect the rights of all 3 people (man, woman, child) and has been existed for decades.

Plus it makes women look dumb, like they aren’t capable of understanding what they read and what the laws are about divorce.

Protecting you by not letting you divorce the person you want to divorce. No thanks.

Women are plenty capable of understanding what this means.

Obtuseness is your forte. You can file for divorce and go before a judge and receive temporary orders; you can live separately. The divorce will be finalized after the birth of the child.

And still there is no reason to have to wait to finalize it until after the baby is born. None. Zero. Zip. If all the paperwork is ready to go, sign them and be done.

Yes and if the year long separation period is up and meanwhile the woman has become pregnant (by another partner for example) then she can still get divorced at that time even if she is pregnant. As it should be.

EXACTLY. This is exactly the tack the idiot OP and other hysterics are taking. The OP is a well-known troll who constantly writes garbage posts that make no sense but absolutely out her as being mentally ill. She has been reported repeatedly for her inflammatory, FALSE posts yet she is still here, spewing her bile across the entire site. Report her every time she posts.

I can't speak for DC, but in Maryland if you have sex with your STBX, the clock is reset for another year. So I am sure in your mind that oh-so-blue Maryland is imprisoning women (and only women) in marriages.

What if a woman becomes pregnant by another man while separated and she isn’t sure who the father is? What if she had sex with her husband and then her new paramour?

What if she claims the baby isn’t her husband’s baby, but it is?

I believe Anna Nicole Smith did exactly thar, and the true father had to take her boyfriend to court after she died to prove the little baby was his baby. He eventually got his child but he had to force the issue via the court system.

Yet here is the forced birther state forcing women and men to stay married based on a biological condition experienced exclusively by women. It’s almost as if the famously misogynistic party is doing more of the same.

Numerous other people have pointed out that deep blue states have laws, that in effect, do the exact same thing as Missouri. California is another one

“Yes, you can initiate the divorce process, even if you or your spouse are pregnant. However, the court will not finalize the divorce until after the child's birth. This delay is primarily due to issues surrounding paternity and potential confusion that could arise.”
