No matter how long you have been married to another person, it is impossible to be absolutely certain what is going on in his or her mind. Of course, if the relationship is strong and based on mutual love and trust, you don't need to know everything your spouse is thinking so long as you are sure their intentions are good.
How can I tell if my spouse is hiding assets?
Settling custody issues can be easier with help
Divorce is rarely easy and is often contentious. It is so easy for spouses to become extremely agitated when working out the details of a divorce. While it's one thing to debate over property or assets, it is quite another to be in conflict in matters regarding children. Regardless of how poorly you may believe your soon-to-be ex-spouse behaved during the marriage, it is important to remember that he or she is your child's other parent.
Helping Missouri residents modify custody orders
When going through a divorce, determining child custody and child support is often the most important thing for parents. Understandably, the anxiety and tension can be extremely high as both parents attempt to prove that they belong in their child or children's lives. If a child support or child custody order is determined, and you do not feel that you are given the time you deserve with your child, it can be crushing, but your battle for custody does not have to end there.
Minors and emancipation in Missouri
A person's age can play a significant role in many legal areas all across the country, both criminal and civil. For instance, a child charged with a crime will usually face a significantly lesser punishment for the exact same crime committed by an adult. Age can also impact civil law in many ways, and is arguably the most influential in matters of family law, where younger residents often have to have their parents permission.
We can help you regain custody of your child
Children are perhaps the most important things in the world; they are the future generation that will inherit this world and continue to advance our society. Critical to safeguarding our future is safeguarding the upbringing of our children, and that is why family law is so important. A child that is deprived of a healthy, happy home may ultimately rob society of remarkable progress. The future President of the United States may never realize his or her potential because his or her family unit was untimely destroyed.
Do not be afraid to question paternity
Statistics indicate that there are a large number of single mothers in our society today, with nearly 40 percent of all children being born to couples who are not married. Some people view this as a problem, citing irresponsible mothers or deadbeat fathers as a symptom of our country's economic declines or social tragedies. The true problem with these out-of-wedlock births, however, is that issues of paternity are rarely addressed as thoroughly as they should be. This can lead to the wrong man paying child support for a baby that is not his, or a loving father being denied custody rights due to a legal technicality.

What is considered marital property in Missouri?
When two people get married, they expect that they will spend the rest of their lives together, and they often begin to build that life by accruing assets. A new bed in which to sleep together, a new house to raise their family, a new car to take the children to soccer practice, these are all things that married couples might buy to accommodate their new life. But not all marriages last, and in the event of a divorce, the question of who gets what suddenly becomes significant.
Prison sentences could stop child support payments
Child support is almost always a highly debated topic among parents, whether they divorced or never married. The custodial parent often feels that he or she is struggling to raise a child without the financial assistance he or she deserves while non-custodial parents struggle to justify allocating some of their hard-earned money toward a child they never see and a parent they hardly know. This issue is especially pressing for prisoners, who are incapable of making a significant enough income to make most child support payments.
Helping grandparents with visitation rights
When a couple decides to divorce, there are many legal issues that may arise, and many parties who may be less than satisfied with the results of the divorce. Oftentimes custodial parents feel that they are not paid enough in child support, or noncustodial parents feel that they do not get to see their children enough. While each of these may be valid concerns, there is a significant focus on the outcome of a divorce agreement as it pertains to children and parents, but very little attention is paid to grandparents.
