DOMESTIC RELATIONS SERVICES  

The attorneys from the Law Office of SEUFERT & DUDLEY, P.C. represent clients in all domestic cases, including divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, paternity actions, adoption and modification. 

We offer personal attention and straight forward advice.  The laws governing domestic relations cases are constantly changing.  Our attorneys can explain these laws and how they apply to you. 

These are some of the most commonly asked questions:

1.       What facts will the judge consider in awarding custody? 

Section 452.375 RSMo. defines the basic terms of custody and sets forth the factors the court must consider in awarding child custody.

2.       My ex-spouse has denied my visitation.  What can I do?

Section 452.400 RSMo. sets forth one of the remedies available in this situation--the Family Access Motion.  Other remedies exist, such as a Motion for Contempt and/or a Motion to Modify the court's prior order. 

3.       How much will I have to pay in child support?

Section 452.340 RSMo. includes the factors the courts consider in determining a parent's obligation to pay child support.  Child support is calculated using a worksheet known as Form 14.  The attorneys at the Law Office of Kenneth A. Seufert, P.C. can prepare a Form 14 to show what you can expect to pay. 

4.       My ex-spouse wants to move with our children.  What, if anything, can I do to stop him or her?

 Section 452.377 RSMo. describes what each parent needs to know following a divorce.  The parent, who is moving, is required to send notice to the other at least sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed relocation.  This statute describes the form and the content of this notice.

Our office would be glad to help you make the best decisions for you and your family.
