A jury can find you responsible for 99% of the crash in Missouri, and you still collect the remaining 1%. Insurance adjusters don’t lead with that. They lead with the fault percentage assigned early, often before anyone has pulled the full police report, and they present it as if it were settled. Missouri Follows Pure…
Missouri courts will not refer a case to a jury based on hurt feelings. In order to recover for emotional distress as a separate claim, you must prove a mental injury that is diagnosable by a medical professional and severe enough to be considered medically significant. Emotional Distress Is Usually Part of a Larger Injury…
A clouded title can kill your day before it happens. It means that someone other than you may have a legal claim to your property: an old lien, a missing signature, or an heir who has not been accounted for. Until this claim is resolved, you will not have a clean title, and buyers and…
Missouri does not give home buyers a cooling-off period. Sign a purchase agreement and you are bound by it. There is no three-day window to change your mind and walk away clean. If you want out later, the contract itself will have to give you a reason. There Is No Statutory Right to Cancel Some…
Missouri courts divide custody into two separate categories. Most parents don’t realize this until they’re already in the middle of a divorce or custody proceeding – and by then, the distinction matters a great deal.

A parent who stops paying child support in Missouri doesn’t just fall behind on a bill. They fall into a legal enforcement system that can garnish their wages, seize their tax refunds, cancel their driver’s licenses, and eventually land them in jail. The courts take this seriously – and the Missouri Family Support Division (FSD)…
Moving with your child after a divorce isn’t just a logistical decision. In Missouri, it’s a legal one. Parents who skip the required steps risk losing custody, being held in contempt, or having a court order the child returned. The law here is stricter than most people expect, and the process has real deadlines. At…
What you do in the first few months of a divorce can affect your finances for years. Decisions made under pressure — or not made at all — tend to follow people long after the case is closed. Understanding where the real financial risks are gives you a chance to get ahead of them. At…
If you are dealing with child support, you may be wondering how the court decides how much one parent has to pay. At first, the process can be hard to understand. A Missouri family lawyer can explain that the state uses a set formula to figure out how much child support to pay. This formula…
