Comprehensive Family Law Services for Missouri Families
Among St. Louis lawyers, we offer one of the most complete ranges of family law services available. We stand prepared to help you with almost any family law/divorce matter you may have, including:
- Complex property division, using forensic accountants where appropriate
- Child custody and visitation proceedings in divorce, paternity action or any other family law dispute
- Grandparent rights to visitation: The loving, supporting relationship between grandparent and grandchild can be significantly emotionally beneficial. However, it can be extremely difficult to obtain visitation rights when a child's parent objects.
- Juvenile cases, including cases in which a minor has committed a crime, a child has been abused or parents have been accused of neglecting or abusing a child
- Adoption and termination of parental rights: We handle adoption cases and termination of parental rights cases, representing either the prospective adoptive parents or the biological parents whose rights are in jeopardy.
- Guardianship is an important, but non-permanent, arrangement between the guardian and a child or a disabled adult. The arrangement ends when the child turns 18. As each situation is unique, we will explain the process, presenting the benefits and disadvantages as applicable to your unique situation.
- Paternity: Paternity establishes the legal relationship between the father and child. This is necessary to address any orders involving child support or visitation.
- Domestic violence and abuse is an extremely serious issue that crosses into criminal law. Contact us or take action as soon as possible: your safety and your children's may be at risk. Other authorities can provide protection and we can let you know your legal options.
- Modifications of child custody or visitation may be necessary if there has been a significant and continuing change in circumstances, such as increased/decreased income or abuse.
Other Family Law Services
We can help you if you are a victim of domestic abuse, or need to secure rights to the pension of your ex-spouse, through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), and we handle many other matters.
As family law, divorce law and criminal law matters are so often interlinked, it's in your best interest to hire attorneys who handle all three areas even if you only have an issue in one of them. We are adept at knowing when and how to bring our criminal law, divorce and family law talents into the equation of your divorce or family law case.
