Do I Need an Attorney?
Yes, it is highly recommended to consult with an attorney for family law and criminal defense matters.
A family law attorney can help you make informed decisions about your family’s well-being and advocate for your best interests in negotiations or court. If you're facing criminal charges, a skilled defense attorney can review your case and help build a strong defense to work toward the best outcome, whether it’s charge dismissal, reduced penalties, or acquittal.
Types of Child Custody
In child custody cases, the court prioritizes the best interests of the child and considers factors such as the child's age, health, and relationship with each parent. Missouri allows for both sole custody, where one parent has primary custody, and joint custody, where parents share custody and decision-making responsibilities.
No-Fault Divorce
Missouri is a no-fault divorce state, meaning a divorce can be granted based on irreconcilable differences without needing to prove fault, such as adultery or abuse.
Criteria for Expungement
In Missouri, eligibility for expungement depends on multiple factors, including the type and severity of the offense, the amount of time that has passed since the conviction, and the successful completion of any probation or rehabilitation requirements.
