Jefferson City Divorce Lawyers and Family Law Attorneys

The attorneys of Carson & Coil, P.C. are committed to helping Missouri families work through their legal difficulties. Most family law issues are sensitive and personal in nature. Whether you are facing a divorce, child custody battle, domestic violence issue, or adoption, it is important that you have a lawyer you can trust watching out for your best interests. We help people deal with the stress and confusion that people often contend with in family court. We can make this process easier.

Divorce may be the most painful legal situation our clients face. Our Jefferson City divorce lawyers handle all aspects of divorce, including child support, child custody, issues of spousal support, or alimony, divorce mediation, legal separation, division of property, and any other issue related to marital dissolution. Getting a divorce is an emotional event. Choose an attorney who will help you make good decisions and protect your interests.

In addition to divorce matters, we help clients with other family law issues. We represent clients in situations of paternity, adoption, including step-parent adoption, grandparent rights issues, domestic violence issues, such as restraining orders, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and more. We handle all aspects of family law and juvenile law.

Our attorneys have extensive experience with these issues.  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 1% 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.
