Comprehensive Legal Guidance For Family Law Challenges

Our lawyers have the experience to handle a wide range of family law challenges in Missouri. We help clients with:

  • Divorce: We can guide you through every stage of your separation and Missouri divorce. In dissolving your marriage, we will address issues like asset division, property and business valuations, and spousal maintenance and support, while protecting your rights and looking out for your best interests.
  • Child custody: We can help you resolve custody disputes and craft a comprehensive parenting plan that focuses on the best interests of your children and protects your time with them.
  • Child support: We ensure the support payments you receive or pay are calculated accurately according to Missouri guidelines.
  • Paternity actions: We can assist with paternity actions and establishing legal parentage, which secures a father’s rights to custody and visitation, and establishes child support obligations.
  • Grandparents’ rights: We represent grandparents who are seeking visitation or custody rights to maintain crucial relationships with grandchildren.
  • Adoption: We manage the legal process of expanding your family through adoption, handling all necessary paperwork for a smooth finalization. We also help families strengthen bonds through stepparent adoptions.

Every case has different facts and circumstances. Therefore, we provide customized legal strategies to fit each client’s unique needs.

Seeking Modifications Of Existing Orders

It is not uncommon for family circumstances to change in the transition time after a divorce, child custody proceeding or other family law order. When significant changes occur, our family law attorneys can help you seek a modification of an existing court order. If you need to relocate to a new state because of a job, or your child custody needs have changed, we can help you assess your situation and determine if a modification is necessary.
