Missouri Divorce Settlement Attorneys

Divorce is usually stressful and it can be complicated. We address both these issues effectively. We will provide you with answers and options. And you can be confident that we can complete your divorce with your best interests, and your children's best interests, in mind.

In Missouri, you do not have to prove fault or a basis to file for divorce. The simplest divorces happen when the parties can be cooperative with one another and where their marital property is limited. However, a plethora of issues can arise, especially in property division and child custody:

  • Custody and visitation
  • Child support
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Marital versus individual property
  • Real property
  • Business interests
  • Retirement plans
  • Military pensions and benefits
  • Allocation of attorney fees
  • Post-decree modification and enforcement

Post-divorce

If you have children, you will likely need to have a continuing co-parenting relationship with your ex, so we strive to come to amicable agreement in the process. We are highly experienced and are committed to our clients.

Two of our lawyers have chaired the Missouri Bar's Family Law Section. One of our attorneys is a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the nationally and internationally recognized pre-eminent group of family lawyers, and is listed in Best Lawyers in America since 1986 as one of the top one percent of lawyers in the nation.

We actively participate in the Missouri Bar Association's family law committee, speak at conferences about family law across the state, and are extensively published on the subject. We care about family law issues. We prepare every case for trial to ensure that if a settlement is reached, it is a fair settlement.
