Adds that a minor legally married prior to a certain date may file a petition for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or declaration of invalidity of marriage without parental or guardian consent

HB 2986 allows minors who were legally married before August 28, 2025, to file for divorce, legal separation, or marriage invalidity without needing consent from their custodial parent or guardian. The bill directly affects minors in such marriages by removing a legal barrier to ending their marital status. Key provisions specify that these petitions must follow standard court procedures under sections 452.300-452.415, including using "petition" and "respondent" terminology. This change applies only to marriages finalized prior to the specified date, making it a targeted policy adjustment for affected minors.
