Not really, but it’s more about child custody and child support if already married.

Nowhere in Missouri law does it say pregnant women are barred from getting divorced.
But a judge handling a case where one party is pregnant may wait to finalize that divorce until the baby is born, which, experts told us, is done in order to consolidate custody and child-support agreements with other end-of-marriage arrangements.
This can happen in other states, too.
