Child Custody

Determining suitable child custody arrangements during a divorce or other circumstances is of utmost importance. Our family law firm specializes in complex child custody matters. Our Missouri family law attorneys will always put the needs of the child first as we work with our client to ensure an appropriate child custody arrangement.

Modifications to Prior Judgments

Life inevitably changes over time. Modifications to prior judgments can happen when circumstances have changed for the parents of a child, and the custody or parenting time should be altered. When this need arises, the professional child custody attorneys at Siegel & Irwin, LLC can help you modify prior judgments and determine a path forward that works best for you and your children.

Child Support

Child support is put in place to ensure that the child’s needs are met through financial contribution by both parents. Depending on the circumstances, child support can be provided by either parent. Our Kansas City family law attorneys will work with you to navigate Missouri law to determine and enforce any child support arrangements.

Paternity Actions

Paternity actions establish legal fatherhood of a child born to unwed parties. The paternity action can be brought by either parent of the child. Our paternity lawyers are well equipped to help advise clients throughout the legal process of fatherhood issues.

Orders of Protection

When you feel a child is unsafe from a spouse, relative, or guardian, it may be best to seek an order of protection. When an order of protection is in place, it carries criminal penalties if the offending party violates the order. Our family law attorneys at Siegel & Irwin, LLC have success in gaining these orders of protection in Missouri to help clients who feel their children are at risk.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are vital to formally specifying how assets are distributed upon the dissolution of a marriage. Prenups and postnuptial agreements can protect both individuals and their property, while also minimizing future potential litigation. Our Missouri and Kansas family law attorneys can assist with planning and establishing an equitable prenuptial or postnuptial agreement for your marriage.

If you’re considering expanding your family through adoption, our family law attorneys can help. Whether you are a stepparent or grandparent, pursuing an adult adoption, or going through an agency, our adoption lawyers at Siegel & Irwin, LLC, will guide you through each step of the adoption process.

    FAQ for Family Law in Missouri

    I have been served with a summons. What now?

    If you have been served by a sheriff’s deputy or private process server, it is important that you contact an attorney right away. There are important deadlines that must be met to ensure that your rights are protected, and the clock starts ticking once you have been served.

    If my case is contested does that mean that there will be a trial?

    Simply because a case is designated “contested” does not automatically mean that there will be a trial. A trial is generally a last resort when settlement negotiation or mediation is unsuccessful. While many contested cases do reach a successful settlement, sometimes a trial becomes necessary to obtain a successful resolution.
