Frequently Asked Questions

What are the residency requirements for filing for divorce in St. Louis?

St. Louis law requires you or your spouse to reside in Missouri for at least 90 days before filing for divorce.

How do the courts divide property in a St. Louis divorce?

Missouri is an equitable distribution state, meaning judges divide property fairly but not equally. The courts base their decisions on factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, and the parties’ needs.

How do courts determine child custody?

St. Louis family law judges consider the child’s “best interests” when awarded custody to a parent, which may include factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the mental and physical health of the parties, and the child’s adjustment to home, school, and community.

How long does the average divorce take in St. Louis?

The time it takes to get divorced in St. Louis depends on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to reach an agreement. An uncontested divorce may be finalized in as little as 30-90 days, while a contested divorce can take several months or longer.

Can I modify my child support or custody order after it’s been finalized?

YES. If there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant change in income or the child’s needs, you ask the courts to amend your child support or custody order.
