Divorce in Missouri
Technically, Missouri uses the term "dissolution of marriage" instead of divorce, but the result is still the breaking up of a home. Missouri has limited "no-fault" divorce, which means you don't have to prove cruelty, adultery, or other legal infractions to obtain a marriage dissolution.
The most common grounds for dissolution of marriage in Missouri are irreconcilable differences.
Protecting your rights
During this transition process, your spouse or ex-spouse may not have the best interests of you or your children at heart, so you may need aggressive representation to make sure that your rights are protected and to achieve a fair settlement. Attorney Brandi Herndon-Miller has defended clients in a variety of marriage dissolution situations, including same-sex divorce.
Filing a marriage dissolution
There are several steps you will need to take to get started on your dissolution case. From filing a "petition of dissolution" and parenting plan to causing the court to issue a "summons" and paying filing fees, you will need the assistance of a local attorney like the Law Offices of Brandi Miller to make sure all of your bases are covered.
