Effective Counsel in Divorce
In either a divorce or separation agreement, many factors can come into play. We are prepared to assist you with all divorce-related matters:
Division of Marital Property and Debt
In today's tight economy, a large percentage of our divorce clients are concerned about the division or marital property and debt, particularly the family home. Our background in real estate law, combined with our experience in family law, allows us to provide solutions that protect your best interests.
When dividing martial assets, we are able to handle concerns including:
- Division and sale of the family home and other real estate interests
- Division of pensions, retirement plans, 401(k)s and IRAS
- QDROs
- Division of business or partnership interests
Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, is one of the more difficult issues in divorce. We assist clients whose divorces include the possibility of maintenance. For example, in a long marriage where one spouse earns wages and the other stays home to raise children, it may be necessary to allow the stay-at-home parent a chance to build up their earning capacity.
Child Support, Custody and Visitation
In Missouri, child support is calculated using a formula. It is possible to get a variation from the formula if it would be unjust or unreasonable for any reason.
Child custody and visitation are called parenting plans in the state of Missouri. These plans establish a child's place of residence and primary guardianship.
