Common Questions About Family Law in Missouri
Do I have to go to court for a divorce or custody case?
Not always. Many family law cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, saving money, time, and stress. If you and your spouse or co-parent have an agreement that just needs to be finalized through the courts, we offer document drafting services that can minimize your time in the courtroom, or make it completely unnecessary. We’ll help you decide the best approach for your circumstances.
Can custody or support orders be changed later?
Yes. If there’s been a continuing and substantial change in circumstances, such as income, health, or parenting schedules, you may request a modification. In a consultation with Welch Law Office, we will talk about what has changed in your family dynamic and the best way to address those changes.
How long does a divorce or custody case take?
Timelines vary based on the level of agreement between parties and the court’s schedule. Welch Law Office works to keep the process moving smoothly and efficiently. Uncontested divorce and custody cases can often be completed in 46-60 days. However, the average length of a contested divorce or custody case is 6 months to a year, and sometimes longer in the event of very contested matters.
