CHILD SUPPORT
Obtaining
child support is essential to ensure that you and your family receive the financial
compensation to successfully raise a family. Because the laws revolving child
support are constantly changing, it is important that you retain the
representation of an attorney who is experienced and on top of the Missouri
laws. Child support is based on the parties' combined incomes. The statutes
provide for a formula to determine the amount each spouse has to pay toward the
care and upbringing of their children. Even if you share custody equally, one
spouse may still have to pay the other if he or she makes significantly more
than the other spouse.
CHILD CUSTODY & VISITATION
We believe strongly in protecting children from the potential negative effects of a separation or divorce. Our firm can assist in negotiating child custody and visitation agreements, with the goal of finding a solution that is acceptable to everyone involved. We have extensive experience in handling sensitive issues such as custody, child support, and paternity cases.
If you have already completed the divorce process and are now in need of a modification to an existing decree, it is important you work with an attorney. Divorce decrees are final and modifying existing orders can be difficult. With the representation of an attorney, however, you may be able to achieve a favorable resolution to your case.

CHILD ABUSE
Charges of child abuse and neglect have extremely serious ramifications. If you or your spouse have been accused of abusing or neglecting your child or your child has been sexually or physically abused or if you are facing the threat of having your child taken away by the Missouri Department of Social Services, or if your child has already been taken away, you must act quickly. There are procedures and policies that must be followed by all parties involved.
Children that are the victims of abuse and or neglect are often in need of the protection of the Juvenile Court. This can be a devastating occurrence for your entire family and can result in removal of a child from your home, criminal charges, or loss of employment. Melanie G Moffat is familiar with the statutory requirements, policies, and practices if you should find yourselves involved in this type of situation.
