We have decades of experience guiding Springfield and Southwest Missouri clients through the divorce process. We walk you through the process and help you find the options that work best for you.

We understand that the needs of your kids come first. When resolving child custody and visitation matters, we work with you to develop parenting time or visitation schedules that work best for your family. If problems surface, we can help you resolve them by seeking a modification or defending against one.
