Experienced St. Louis, Missouri, Divorce Lawyers
Two things are true of almost every divorce. First, it is a major life event, potentially traumatic for both parties and their children.
Second, if you're going through a divorce, you should have a smart, seasoned divorce and family law attorney working for you to fully protect your rights, advocate for your interest, and handle all the intricate legal details correctly.
Legal and moral support
We know how you feel. We try to make this painful experience as easy as possible by being accessible to you, responding quickly to your phone calls, and clearly explaining all of your options at every point in the process.
We handle a wide range of divorce matters extremely well
We can help you achieve the results you want in these matters:
- Child custody Legal custody allows you to make decisions about the child's school, healthcare, religion and more. Joint legal custody means both parents can make decisions concerning the child.
- Child support The amount paid is influenced by the parents' circumstances and incomes, number of children, costs of healthcare, and other issues.
- Uncontested divorce is one in which the parties work out issues without going to court. You can do it yourself, but the advice of a qualified attorney is recommended to make sure it's done properly.
- Division of marital property and debts requires assessing each piece of marital property: real estate, retirement accounts and other investments, and estimates of income into the future. We excel at complex valuations.
- Spousal support/maintenance (formerly known as alimony) is money paid by one spouse to another. We know all the complex factors that could affect a court's decision and will aggressively work in your best interest.
- Mediation and collaborative law allows clients to reach a divorce settlement out of court. It's usually best if a divorcing couple decides how to handle their own property, support and parenting issues rather than a judge. Attorney Robert Hamilton is highly knowledgeable in these areas.
- Motion to Modify can change the arrangements of a divorce decree. One parent's income or circumstances may change due to relocation, job loss, or illness. Modification is also possible if there's a change in custody, or if the child's needs change.
We will advocate for you
If your divorce issues can be settled amicably...wonderful. If we need to go to court, let's not. We can be very aggressive in helping you get everything to which you're entitled. We are dedicated to the best interests of our clients and their children above all else.
