Can you get a divorce if you're pregnant in arizona?

Divorce While Pregnant

It depends on the state that you live in. You need to check the state laws.

One contributor has said that in the state of Ohio you cannot get a divorce while you are pregnant.

Here is more advice:

• Yes you can get a divorce. There is nothing to stop you, you have custody of the fetus for now. But just be prepared that if he is unhappy about all of this, it will be a long hard haul getting through the process.

• Only after you do everything you can to save the marriage. If you communicate openly and honesty, and if you're both willing to work and sacrifice for your marriage, then you can find happiness together anew.

• It depends on what state you live in. There are states that will not allow you to get a divorce if you are pregnant, and in those states you have to wait until after the child is born before a divorce will be granted.

• PLEASE check local laws about this. Arkansas, for example does NOT grant divorce, even if the child is NOT the husband's. My advice, check local laws, gain "legal residency" in another state that does (an address, mail, bills, and a drivers license... all mail going there, even a credit card... even if you do not live there... after 6 months, you are a resident, and you can divorce there.
