AREAS OF PRACTICE
Ending a marriage can be complicated and emotionally
troubling. I can help you with the intricacies of divorce filing, property
division, child custody, child support, and alimony.
If you have a child with someone you are no longer in a relationship with, there may be custody, parenting time, and child support issues. A parent is usually required to pay child support until the child is 18 or 21.
Changes in income or other circumstances may require you to modify your parenting plan or child support. I understand the nuances of Missouri law and can advise you on how to request or prevent a modification.
Feelings can run very high in legal matters involving child custody and your rights as a parent. An experienced representative can help you achieve the most favorable result possible in the best interest of your child.
Determining the parentage of a child is extremely important. I can help you establish the truth and fight for your rights to ensure your child has the proper support and care they deserve.
Contempt of court is a procedure that is available to enforce a court order when someone knows what they are ordered to do, is able to comply, but chooses not to comply.
