St. Louis Divorce Lawyer Helping Clients Get Results
If you are involved in a difficult family dispute, you need an experienced advocate on your side. I am Melissa Featherston, a Missouri family law attorney at the law firm of Featherston Law Firm. I offer a full range of family law services, including the following:
- Divorce: I assist clients with all aspects of the Missouri divorce process. I will answer your questions and help you pursue a divorce judgment that protects your interests.
- Marital property division: Before your divorce is finalized, your marital assets and debts will need to be divided. I can help you seek a fair and appropriate distribution.
- Child support: The calculation of child support is not as simple as some people make it to be. I will carefully evaluate how much support you should be paying or receiving.
- Child custody and visitation: Determining what will happen to the children can be the most difficult part of the divorce process. I will work to protect your parental rights.
- Paternity: If you are involved in a dispute over child custody or support involving a child born outside of marriage, I can help you establish paternity and pursue a fair outcome.
- Custody and support modification: I help clients pursue and oppose modifications to child custody, visitation and child support in response to changed circumstances.
- Parental relocation: When a parent with child custody wants to relocate, there is a specific legal procedure that must be followed. I can guide you through this process.
- Child neglect and endangerment: I work to protect the rights of parents and children in custody disputes involving allegations of child abuse, neglect and endangerment.
- Domestic violence: I represent clients who have suffered domestic abuse from their spouses and partners, as well as clients who have been served with protective orders.
- Grandparents' rights: Missouri has a specific statutory procedure grandparents can use to establish certain legal rights. I can advise you on your rights and options under this law.
- Stepparent adoptions: If you are responsible for caring for your stepchild and the other birth parent no longer plays an active role, I can help you pursue a stepparent adoption.
