Divorce and Family Law Issues We Handle
No two divorces are exactly alike. Some couples can resolve their differences through negotiation and reach an uncontested divorce agreement. Others need experienced courtroom representation to resolve disputes involving children, finances, or property.
We assist clients with divorce matters involving:
- Contested and uncontested divorce
- Division of marital property and debts
- Child custody and parenting plans
- Child support and spousal maintenance
- Retirement accounts and other significant assets
- Post-divorce modifications and enforcement
Whenever possible, we pursue reasonable agreements that can reduce unnecessary conflict, expense, and stress. When settlement is not possible, Kevin Jamison is prepared to advocate for your interests in court.
How Is Property Divided in a Missouri Divorce?
Property division is often one of the most important financial issues in divorce. Missouri courts distinguish between marital and separate property and divide marital property according to applicable state law. The outcome can have long-term consequences for both spouses.
Divorce may require addressing the family home, bank and investment accounts, retirement benefits, business interests, vehicles, personal property, debts, and other financial obligations.
Kevin Jamison helps clients identify important assets and liabilities, understand their legal options, and pursue a property division arrangement that protects their financial interests and prepares them for life after divorce.
Child Custody, Parenting Plans, and Support
For parents, the most important questions often involve what will happen with their children. Missouri courts consider the best interests of the child when resolving custody matters, making a well-prepared parenting plan an important part of many divorce cases.
Our firm helps parents address legal and physical custody, parenting schedules, decision-making responsibilities, child support, and other issues affecting their children. We encourage workable solutions when parents can reach an agreement, but we are prepared to litigate disputed custody matters when necessary to protect a client’s parental rights and children’s interests.
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce generally occurs when spouses can reach an agreement on the major issues involved in ending their marriage. A contested divorce occurs when disagreements remain and must be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Even when spouses initially agree, obtaining legal advice can help identify issues that may otherwise be overlooked. Divorce agreements can have lasting legal and financial consequences, so it is important to understand what you are agreeing to before the divorce becomes final.
