Divorce and Separation in Missouri
Missouri is a "modified no-fault" state — in order to obtain a divorce, the parties may plead irreconcilable differences. However, infidelity and other conduct like domestic violence are relevant to property division and spousal support. Missouri is an "equitable distribution" state, considering several factors when distributing property, including nonmarital versus marital property and debt and the financial needs of both spouses. The property or debt will not necessarily be divided equally.
We can represent you in contested and uncontested divorces. Legal separation is also an option in Missouri. It provides almost the same results as divorce, but does not dissolve the marriage itself.
