Acting Early Strengthens Your Position

In Missouri, divorce filings require a 30-day waiting period before finalization — but the preparation that happens before you file sets the tone for everything: custody negotiations, asset documentation, and support calculations. Every week you wait without legal guidance is a week the other side may be building their case. The sooner you act, the more leverage and options you have.

Common Questions

Family Law Questions Answered

Straight answers from a Missouri attorney who has helped families navigate divorce and custody.

Your initial consultation is completely free. After the consultation, fees are discussed transparently upfront — no surprise retainer demands, no pressure to commit. Family law fee structures vary by case complexity, and Mark explains everything clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Missouri requires a 30-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized. An uncontested divorce — where both spouses agree on all terms — may be resolved in 30 to 90 days. Contested divorces involving custody, property, or support disputes typically take 6 to 18 months or longer. Acting early gives you more preparation time and more negotiating leverage.
No. Missouri is a no-fault divorce state — you can file for dissolution of marriage based on irretrievable breakdown without your spouse's consent. Your spouse cannot prevent the divorce from happening, though they can contest terms like custody, support, and property division.
Missouri follows equitable distribution — marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily 50/50. Courts consider each spouse's economic circumstances, contributions to the marriage (including non-financial contributions), and the value of separate property. An experienced attorney ensures your interests are properly represented and documented throughout this process.
Missouri courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to provide stability, the child's adjustment to home and school, and each parent's willingness to support the other's relationship with the child. Courts may award joint or sole custody — legal and/or physical — depending on the specific circumstances.
If your divorce involves children, significant property, retirement accounts, or debt, having legal representation is strongly advisable. Custody orders and property division judgments are legally binding and long-lasting. If the other side has an attorney and you don't, you're at a serious disadvantage. Having Mark in your corner — starting with a free consultation — levels the playing field from day one.
