We Offer A Team-Centered Legal Approach

Our firm will always take the time to listen to a client's concerns, explain the law, discuss their options, and clarify a legal plan of action. We feel that this strategy provides clients with much-needed reassurance during otherwise challenging times. Clients can take additional comfort from the fact that our attorneys draw upon their collective insight, experience and strength in every family law case. At the Law Offices of Susan L. Ward, LLC, commitment to meeting our clients' needs is not only our primary objective, but the hallmark of our practice.

We represent clients throughout Missouri in the following family law and divorce-related matters:

  • Alimony/maintenance — Our divorce lawyers have significant experience demonstrating the need for temporary and/or permanent spousal support. They are also well-prepared to pursue or challenge alimony/maintenance modifications.
  • Child support — We will clearly explain the factors used by the state of Missouri to determine the amount of child support awarded. Our attorneys will work diligently to make sure that all applicable factors are accounted for and that the calculations are based on accurate information.
  • Child custody — Our attorneys have extensive experience in all child custody matters, including those involving allegations of domestic violence, substance abuse, or a parent's inability to hold a steady job. We are fully prepared to protect your child's best interests.
  • Property division — Our firm works hard to ensure that our clients receive a fair portion of any marital property in a divorce and, if necessary, will work with forensic accountants to uncover any hidden assets.
