Whether you are seeking a straightforward divorce or need help with more complicated legal issues, we are here to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Missouri Divorce Process
Missouri is a modified "no-fault" divorce state, which means that a marriage can be dissolved without needing to prove wrongdoing by either party. In divorce cases, couples simply need to demonstrate that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." We will guide you through each step of the divorce process, from filing the petition to negotiating terms, ensuring that your rights are upheld.
Areas We Cover in Divorce Cases
Child Custody and Support:
We prioritize the well-being of your children. Our attorneys will help you negotiate fair custody arrangements and child support payments that serve the best interests of your children.
Division of Assets:
Missouri follows an "equitable distribution" model, meaning marital assets are divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. We’ll help you navigate the complexities of dividing property, financial assets, and debts.
Maintenance (Alimony/Spousal Support):
Our team will work to ensure that any spousal support agreement is fair, whether you are seeking maintenance or defending against it.
Modifications:
If circumstances change after the divorce, we can assist with modifying child custody, child support, or spousal support agreements.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements:
If you have a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in place, we can help enforce its terms or challenge its validity if necessary.
Uncontested vs. Contested Divorce
At Lake Munro, we strive to make the divorce process as smooth and efficient as possible. If both parties agree on the terms, we can help you pursue an uncontested divorce, which is often quicker and less expensive. However, if disputes arise over key issues such as custody, support, or asset division, our skilled trial attorneys are prepared to advocate aggressively on your behalf in court.
