If you are working through a divorce, you may have several questions, including:
- When will I get to see my children?
- How will I work with my ex to resolve these issues?
- Who will keep property like the car and house?
These questions are completely understandable, confusing and often stressful. I am ready to bring the approach I have honed in nearly two decades of practice to work with the area’s judges and help you and your loved ones reach an ideal outcome.
It is important to realize that Missouri is a no-fault state and only requires that one person allege that the marriage is irretrievably broken and beyond saving.

This approach has worked for hundreds of clients and I am ready to apply it to your case.
