Can you get divorced in Missouri if your pregnant by another man?

Answer 1

Yes you can get a get a divorce from your husband. Your husbands lawer would say that you have cheated on your husband and that is the grounds for a divorce. The only way you can not get a divorce is if your husband refuses to sign the divorce papers. (Once a spouse is Served by the court with the summons/notice of divorce refusing to sign the divorce papers will not stop the divorce,it will still proceed,the spouse may however contest the divorce if they can prove cause,which in most cases only delays the divorce)

AnswerThere are some states that will not allow a woman to get divorced if she is pregnant. In those states, a divorce would not be granted until after the baby is born.

Answer 2

I think first you need to establish beyond doubt that it is not your husband's child. DNA tests after birth would establish this. You may know in your own mind that you did not have sex with your husband around the time of conception, but does he know that?

Answer 3

That depends on if your pregnant spouse is willing to go that route, and what agreements you have to make with her attorneys. If you are in a state where you need a compelling reason to be granted a divorce, you sure have one, and again, the more you settle with attorneys out of the courtroom, the less "contest" there will be, regardless. Uncontested doesn't necessarily mean you get to walk away without settling any of your marital assets, etc. You need a good divorce attorney. Don't go there on your own.

Answer 4

Yes, Proven infidelity is grounds for divorce in any state.

THE ANSWER ABOVE IS WRONG. In Missouri, as in many states, the interests of the unborn child are considered paramount. The State will not bastardize a child. So, you MUST wait until the child is born, so that a paternity action can be filed concurrently with the divorce action establishing a permanent father for the child. A divorce can not be granted while a party is pregnant.

Answer 5

• No, your wife can only delay the divorce until arrangements are made for the care of the child which would the other man's responsibility. Your lawyer could push the divorce through.

Answer 6

Absolutely, the pregnancy makes no difference, unless you are claiming non-consummation.

Answer 7

Answer 8

yes they will usually grant a divorce
