Anthony was super amazing through our custody case and really took my daughter’s best interest to heart. I can’t express my gratitude towards him. We truly felt like we were protected in situations that have been extremely difficult on my daughter and I. Now we can officially move on with our lives and it’s really beautiful.

In order to encourage parents to think about the issues involving their children as early in the divorce process as possible, the law now requires that each party file a “Parenting Plan.” At the time of the filing of their first pleading, initially, each party proposes how he or she feels that major issues should be handled. A typical Parenting Plan includes provisions regarding custody, visitation, holidays and summer vacations, pick-up and delivery, moving away, child support and payment of other expenses, health insurance and mediation. During the divorce process the final terms of a Parenting Plan are negotiated. It is very similar to the “joint custody plan” that we used to file except that now we file it even when sole custody is sought.
Divorces are generally split into two categories, with one representing amicable or uncontested splits, and the other referring to divorces that are simply more contentious and more complex. A contested divorce typically involves a central disagreement about one or more parts of the split, and can include property disputes, child custody disagreements, a disagreement concerning the reason or grounds for the divorce, or financial disagreements that might concern child support, alimony, or shared debts and their resolution through legal proceedings. A contested divorce is, as one might expect, typically a longer and more drawn out legal procedure that one that is pursued amicably and is resolved in an uncontested manner. Uncontested divorces are common and, with sound legal assistance and representation, they can still be brought to a close within a reasonable amount of time.
When both parties know they want a divorce, and can agree in general terms about the desired outcome, an uncontested divorce is possible. In the case of an uncontested action, Anthony can represent one party and file a joint petition. A joint petition resolves the entire case without requiring a court appearance. On the other hand, if the parties wish to be involved in a settlement process but it is uncertain whether the case will actually settle, then our office would file a complaint, an answer in proper person, a decree of divorce and a request for a summary disposition so that the matter can be resolved outside of court. We are very skilled with uncontested divorces, helping people reach a fair and amicable solution without going to court. Although there are paralegal services that can provide uncontested divorce filings at a lower cost, when you retain Moreno Law, LLC your case will be handled by an experienced attorney
Missouri uses the term “dissolution of marriage” instead of “divorce.”
Clarifying a common question that can be confusing to people unfamiliar with a family law consultation. In a free consultation a lawyer can not ethically offer specific legal advice. When people meet with me they need specific information to help their situation. Yes, we charge for a consultation but that money is applied when you hire me to represent you. Please call Moreno Law, LLC to learn more.
Missouri is an “equitable distribution” state, which means judges will divide marital property in a way they believe is equitable (fair), but not necessarily equal. A court doesn't have to give each spouse a 50% share of the marital assets.
They charged me a flat fee for all of the services rendered couldn't be happier
