Comprehensive Family and Civil Litigation Practice Areas
The practice concentrates on family relations, conflict resolution, and consumer rights, delivering strategic solutions across essential practice disciplines:
Contested and Uncontested Divorce Proceedings
Dissolving a marriage involves critical choices regarding marital asset division, debt allocation, and spousal maintenance. As experienced divorce lawyers, the firm helps clients negotiate cooperative dissolution agreements or vigorously protects their rights in court, ensuring long-term financial stability.
Child Custody, Visitation, and Parenting Plans
Protecting the emotional and developmental well-being of children is paramount during domestic transitions. Working as dedicated child custody lawyers, the practice constructs realistic parenting schedules, handles interstate relocation issues, and files motions to modify prior judgments when family circumstances change.
Child Support Enforcement and Paternity Actions
Children deserve steady financial support from both parents. Our child support lawyers assist clients with Missouri child support calculations, payment enforcement, and formal paternity determinations to legally establish parental rights and responsibilities.
Certified Mediation and Dispute Resolution
Courtroom trials are costly and stressful. As a certified mediator, Summer Masterson-Goethals guides disputing parties through structured negotiation sessions, resolving delicate domestic and contractual conflicts cooperatively while saving thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Consumer Protection and Business Litigation
Drawing on active membership in the National Association of Consumer Advocates, our business litigation lawyers represent consumers and small business owners in predatory lending disputes, debt collection harassment, auto fraud, and breach of contract conflicts.
