Divorce

Central Missouri Divorce Lawyer

A great deal of planning and effort goes into a wedding and a marriage. The same amount should go into a divorce to ensure the parties are able to move forward with their new lives. At the law firm of Steelman, Gaunt & Horsefield, we help people through the divorce process, helping make the transition as smooth as possible to help them get on with their lives.

If you are considering divorce, or if you have been served with divorce papers, contact our Rolla or Jefferson City law office today to speak with a trusted attorney regarding your individual needs.

Our firm represents men and women, including mothers and fathers, in contested and uncontested divorce proceedings. We work to develop agreements or achieve judgments that are in our clients' best interests and the best interests of their children.

We assist family law and divorce law clients in the following matters:

• Child custody and child visitation
  While we realize that the client we are representing is the parent, of most important concern is the best interest of the child or children involved, and it will be examined thoroughly.
  
  
• Division of property
  We advocate for a fair and equitable distribution of marital assets. Both parties have contributed and both parties are entitled to take out of the marriage whatever they contributed to it. Our lawyers will do a thorough evaluation of the marital and non-marital property and determine the most appropriate resolution to the distribution of assets.
  
  
• Child Support
  We work within the Missouri child support guidelines to determine an arrangement for support that meets the individual needs of each child.
  
  
• Maintenance/Alimony
  Depending on the unique circumstances of each case and the factors that existed within the marriage, we will work with our clients to determine whether spousal support is a factor in their case and develop a fair agreement for the future.

Our trial attorneys are highly skilled and experienced in litigation. If issues related to your divorce cannot be resolved amicably through negotiations or mediation, we will advocate relentlessly for your best interests in court.

If you are considering a legal separation or divorce, contact our firm today to speak personally with a knowledgeable attorney about what you can expect to achieve in your case. We will listen closely to your unique concerns, clearly explain the process, and work diligently to achieve an outcome that meets your needs and interests.
