Nonsense. There are tens and thousands of different religions that don't all agree with one another on just about everything. How is "religion" the problem here? WHICH one? WHICH religion? WHICH freedom?

I have to laugh at all the knee jerk reactions. The woman isn't stuck with the guy..
FACT: pregnant wives CAN file for divorce in Missouri.
FACT: A woman can still leave her spouse, get a judgment for property division and spousal support, child support for any existing children, and custody of any existing born alive children – she just can’t finalize the dissolution of the marriage until the baby is born and custody is finalized as to that child, or she goes to another state to have an abortion.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
It has to do with custody and child support.

I guess either parent is what you mean.

And as I asked before, has anyone known anyone with a child who had a quick divorce of less than 60 days?

Speaking of that, did you know that the Puritans did not allow the government to have any say in their marriages?

And I can see how they felt that way at one point in time. But there is no excuse for that now. With DNA we know who the father was. Married or not. In fact let's say that a couple started a divorce and the woman wanted to stick it to her husband. Divorces take a while and she could get impregnated by another man and try to force her husband to pay child support for a child that was not his. There would be no justice in that. If the woman was beaten and abused by a man a divorce will make it easier for her to protect herself from him.
In other words, even if a couple marries and they have a kid, the father is still on the hook. He has to pay child support. If they are getting a divorce and she gets impregnated by another he should not have to pay child support. If a couple that never marries and splits up and the man wants visitation rights he can prove that he has those rights with DNA. No marriage necessary. Making decisions based upon who the father actually is protects the child without forcing an unwilling marriage.

Yes. But there's a reason I say social work taught me a new way to hate parents and a lot if times the kid needs services because it's the parent doing the damage. But try telling a parent high on the idea the parent knows best they are wrong.

Like I have asked over and over and over again, has anyone with kids involved EVER gotten a a divorce quickly? I don't believe so.
No, it doesn't.
Or if there is some backwards law still on the books in these backwards states that law should be removed.
A parent has the same right to custody or visitation whether they were divorced before the child was born, or after, or even if they were never married. It does not make an iota of difference if the child was conceived when the couple were married, divorced, or were never married. It would not matter if the couple signed the divorce papers and then went to the bedroom for one last time and conceived a child.
And likewise, the child has the same right to child support regardless of the marital status of their parents, it is completely irrelevant.

Certain states offer a smoother road to splitsville, including New Jersey—where Weinberger practices—which has no mandated “cooling off” period. “We have a ‘benchmark’ of one year from filing to decree in the ‘typical divorce’ case that includes assets and children,” she says. For simpler cases in which spouses reach an agreement, the time to divorce could be weeks; more complex cases could extend beyond a year. “But there is no mandated—’this is how long it will take you to divorce’—law in New Jersey,” Weinberger says.
Other swift states include New Hampshire (which has no minimum processing time), Nevada (which only requires six weeks of residency and minimum processing of 42 days), and Alaska (which has a 30-day minimum processing time for residents), according to the Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group.

Waiting periods, mandated separations, residency requirements—such speed bumps can slow down the road to divorce.

Two of the three ways to tell if a baby is the father's involve risks and costs that the mother may not be willing to take on. The third way involves considerable cost. Just to clarify.

Everyone, quick! Move to New Hampshire!

Take that up with someone else, not me. I didn't write the law.

Interesting how you completely ignored New Jersey.

Fantome, I did not write the law. I am not defending the law or criticizing it for that matter. I am leaving Texas for Ohio in a few weeks anyway. Besides that I'm not married. Also, I've had a complete hysterectomy. So all that combined means that I really don't much care.

Like I have asked over and over again, has anyone personally known anyone with kids to get a divorce quickly?
