Why A St. Louis Divorce & Family Lawyer Matters
- County-Specific Procedures: The Clayton courthouse requires the Focus on Kids parenting program before finalizing custody orders, while the city court often schedules settlement conferences earlier in the case timeline, so local knowledge keeps your matter on track.
- Property Division Under Missouri Law: Missouri follows “equitable distribution,” but judges may weigh factors, such as the length of a marriage in Webster Groves or a family-run business in Chesterfield, differently.
- Neighborhood Real-Estate Concerns: Whether you own a historic brick home in Soulard or a new build in Wildwood, valuation and refinancing options vary across the metro’s diverse housing market.
