St. Charles Separation Agreement Lawyers
Under Missouri law, divorcing couples face no official separation requirement before filing for divorce. After filing, however, they must undergo a 30-day wait period. During this period, they must be living apart from each other. However, the court places minimal requirements on what constitutes "living apart." In fact, it is possible for couples to live apart in the same house — as long as they sleep separately.

About Missouri Separation Laws
While there is no official separation requirement in Missouri, couples may enter into separation agreements. These agreements often address the same issues as divorces. They may divide property, decide child support and spousal maintenance, as well as child custody and parental contact with the children.
In a divorce after a separation agreement has been put in place, the terms of the separation agreement often have a significant impact. That is why it is critical to take a separation agreement seriously. Work with an experienced attorney who knows Missouri separation laws and do whatever possible to make commonsense decisions know — knowing that those decisions will affect you far into the future.
