Family Law Services
- Divorce — Every divorce is unique, and we offer personalized services to meet the specific needs of each client. We help clients settle their divorce-related matters through negotiation, or in family court if a settlement cannot be negotiated.
- Child custody and visitation — In Missouri, child custody arrangements must be made with the best interests of the child in mind. We work with parents to arrange a plan that best meets their child's needs.
- Adoption and guardianships — Our firm can assist you with agency adoption, stepparent adoption, and international adoption. This may involve the termination of the biological parents' rights. We can also help you establish a legal guardianship, granting caregiving duties to a grandparent or other family member.
- Paternity — If a man is determined to be the father of a child after taking a paternity test, he can seek child custody and visitation rights. Similarly, a mother can seek to obtain child support payments once the identity of the father has been established.
- Modification and relocation — If an individual's circumstances change - relocation for a job, a change in income, a change in the child's needs - a modification of child support, child custody, or spousal support may be warranted.
