When a couple owns numerous assets or when one spouse owns a business, the financial aspects of divorce can be complicated. It often requires substantial knowledge of business law to resolve the issues effectively. Our family law practice is well-suited to complex divorces. Among other divorce and family law issues, our attorneys handle:

  • Business valuations
  • Property division
  • Equitable distribution
  • Pre-nuptial agreements

In conjunction with our normal divorce practice, we also handle adoptions (step-parent and domestic), paternity actions, and modifications to child support, custody and visitation arrangements.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Under Missouri's family law statutes, a divorcing couple is required to use mediation as part of the divorce. The case can't go to court unless the mediation does not succeed. Resolving conflicts in mediation will benefit both parties, because you avoid the expense and emotional stress of a courtroom battle.

At Neale & Newman, L.L.P., we employ several lawyers who are qualified in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration.
