Senate Bill 1770 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 36, by introducing a new provision that prohibits the delay of divorce proceedings due to the pregnancy of one of the parties involved. The bill stipulates that a divorce must proceed if the court can determine or both parties can agree on two key points: whether the other party is the parent of the unborn child and, if applicable, the establishment of an agreed parenting plan and child support order.

This legislation aims to ensure that divorce cases are not unnecessarily prolonged due to pregnancy, thereby promoting timely resolutions in family law matters. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues promptly for the welfare of all parties involved.
