Its like the legal system is stacked against women. Like they are the property of their husbands. There is something dark and sinister going on in the most backward parts of America.
 
She entered a contract to stay with her husband for better or worse. One of the primary reasons for such contracts is to protect the children that come from that union from flighty people who change their mind and want to abandon their families at the first sign of trouble.

Many U.S. states have divorce laws that have turned that sacred commitment into a joke. Seems that Missouri hasn't completed that process. Too bad. She is a family lawyer, so she cannot claim to have been tricked by the patriarchy or whatever silliness you are trying to say happened.

Or this:

Dan Mizell, an attorney in Lebanon, Missouri, who has been practicing law since 1997, says that certain aspects of the divorce can proceed, but everything having to do with custody of the unborn child is frozen in place until birth or a pregnancy-ending event like a miscarriage. The court can issue temporary orders related to things like dividing up property, Mizell says. "But they can't do a final decree of divorce until she delivers the baby."

Then their husband's can't get divorced either. It is like the legal system is stacked against men. They are slaves to their wives. There is something dark and sinister going on when a man's freedom is held hostage by child support payments.

Anyway, here in Virginia this is a non-issue. The child support and custody matters can be sorted by the J&D courts after the birth. The only real issue then is that it is not part of the Circuit Court order with the added layer of contempt enforcement, but the J & D courts can toss you into the pen just as easily as the circuit courts. It is just a bigger deterrence to do an appeal out of circuit than it is out of J&D although I read an article recently that more appeals as a matter of right out of circuit courts are going to be allowed beginning this year.

I doubt that she studied the divorce laws when she got married.

Lawyers do well out of divorce. Lots of needless bad feeling. People who have had enough should be allowed to walk away without rancour.

A lot of states have streamlined the process so people can do it themselves without lawyers. Child support is a perpetual problem in America. A former co-worker had to pay her layer $6500 to collect $6800 in back child support so yes lawyers can make out like bandits. State involvement in collecting it however seems to have made the problems worse, not better. Their solution is pay or throw you in jail was they are doing the enforcement. The result is often that baby momma doesn't want to see baby daddy thrown in jail and being thrown in jail doesn't magically create the money to pay the back support. It worsens the situation. They also tend to be inconsistent about who they pursue and who they don't so someone who just recently had a loss of a job can have them dropping the hammer on them whereas someone who hasn't paid in years just goes about their life scot free.

That's the way the Republican white-wing is leaning and women supporting it just might find themselves screwing themselves....maybe even losing a finger or two (Handmaid's Tale reference)

Marriage isn't a hostage situation. It's a contract between consenting adults. Make sure you tell every woman in your life what you just wrote.

There is a govt agency over here the CSA. They are quite tough apparently. Lots of divorced blokes seem to live with their parents.

Slavery by any other name........................a Republican mainstay now.

Child support payments should start at con-ception now.

Sounds like the trouble is "men" trying to avoid responsibility for the children they created.

Once again you fell for a troll article.
It takes about 8 seconds to show this article created a false narrative.
And of course, you eagerly consume it and expand the trolling.

"All aspects of the divorce can go forward during a pregnancy, but the divorce cannot be final until the child is born and custody is agreed upon".

There is nothing wrong with that. It is a good law to equally protect the rights of both parties and the child.
 
That law says fetuses are not a person yet, not till birth. So any legal settlement can't be made until after they are born.

This contradicts their abortion law, giving fetuses rights of a person, over and above the person carrying them.

They prevent the divorce from being finalized till custody is established. This forces the issue of custody... as it SHOULD.
Also, it is well established that people change their minds about custody when they see the child, and hold it in their arms.
Nothing wrong with this law. It protects the interest of both parties and protects the childs best interest.
