Pregnancy Voids Divorce

The Washington State Court of Appeals has affirmed a trial court ruling vacating a divorce because the wife was pregnant. The case gained national attention, and prompted a change in the state's divorce law. But the Court of Appeals has not backed off, holding that the ruling was correct at the time it was decided.

Although it's a crazy result, in a way it's good to see a court apply the law without regard to potential adverse publicity. For more on the story, see this Washington Post article.
