Working With You to Achieve Your Divorce Goals

Resolving Issues in Court or Through Negotiations
Divorce cases become contested for many different reasons. You and your spouse may be able to agree on how to split the property but have major differences when it comes to child custody, or vice versa. We are equally prepared to handle all divorce issues, including:
- Child custody and visitation: We help our clients establish parenting plans that reflect the best interests of the children.
- Child support: We make sure child support obligations are fair and reasonable based on the Missouri child support guidelines.
- Property division: We help clients pursue equitable distributions of marital assets and debts, including complex assets.
- Spousal maintenance (alimony): We help you determine whether alimony is appropriate in your case or not, and if so, how much should be paid for how long.
Our approach is to do whatever it takes to make sure our clients get what the law entitles them to receive. We prepare every case for the possibility that a trial may be necessary.
Of course, many of our clients do not want to go to court and are prepared to compromise in order to avoid litigation. We are always ready to negotiate a settlement, but it is your decision; we will never pressure you into accepting an offer that is not fair.
Seeking Prompt Completion of Uncontested Divorces
If you and your spouse have worked out all of the details of your divorce, you may be tempted to try to file the papers on your own. Unfortunately, this can turn out to be a major headache.
The uncontested divorce documents that are available on the Internet and elsewhere may not be applicable to your particular case, and the courts may not accept them.
Filing the wrong documents or making other errors could drag out your case and end up costing you more than hiring an attorney. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, don't hesitate to contact us. To learn more about divorce law, visit our information page.
