Child Custody and Parenting Time Issues in Missouri

Missouri courts consider the best interests of the child when determining child custody. When a couple with minor children divorces, they are required to create a parenting plan that outlines the responsibilities and obligations of each parent. Custody is defined in two ways:

Legal custody: Refers to a parent’s right to make major life decisions on behalf of the child concerning health care, education and overall welfare. Legal custody can be sole, primary or joint.

Physical custody: Determines where the child will live once the divorce or separation is final.

As we work to develop a custody arrangement for you and your child, we will do our best to ensure that your parental rights are preserved and protected. We understand your desire to protect your child’s interests, but we also know that you want to ensure you have an adequate amount of parenting time.
