Fathers Rights Lawyers in St. Louis in Clayton, MO

St. Louis, Missouri Father’s Rights Attorneys

As the father of a child, you should know that old attitudes have started to gradually adjust. In St. Louis, Missouri, mothers are no longer automatically given sole physical custody. More and more fathers are walking away with joint physical and legal custody in St. Louis and, in some instances, sole physical and legal custody when it is in the child’s best interests.

At Stange Law Firm, PC, we believe in protecting fathers’ rights in St. Louis, Missouri, and throughout Missouri. Our top priority in domestic relations cases is children. We want to help fathers and kids have productive relationships whenever possible. We recognize that while attitudes are changing, fathers can still face hurdles. This can be particularly true when custody of a baby or a young child is at issue. In these instances, there can still be a leaning toward the mother, even if it is not said. However, we provide the skilled, passionate representation fathers want in these cases.

Our attorneys have received awards for divorce and domestic relations law, which you can see in their biographies. For example, Kirk Stange has been on the list of Super Lawyers by Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers Magazine since 2015.

To speak to a St. Louis fathers’ rights attorney about any other domestic relations issue, call us at 855-805-0595 or contact our law firm online. You can also visit our Father’s Rights Blog.

ABOUT

Representing Clients in Family Matters

We also handle many other family law matters, including but not limited to:

Dissolution of Marriage
Unfortunately, there are times when a marriage is irretrievably broken and a dissolution is the only option. We can help with your uncontested, contested, simple or complex dissolution case.
Legal Separation
There are some instances where married parties are separated, but are unsure whether their marriage can be reconciled or may later need to be dissolved. We can help with a legal separation if this is the case.
Annulment
In certain circumstances, a party may be able to seek an annulment if there are circumstances that led to a party being fraudulently induced into entering a marriage.
Family Law
Unfortunately, there are times when a marriage is irretrievably broken and a dissolution is the only option. We can help with your uncontested, contested, simple or complex dissolution case.
Collaborative Law/Mediation
If you are looking for an amicable resolution to your dissolution or family law matter, we have attorneys who can help you with a collaborative family law case or mediation.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
These agreements help couples make critical decisions about their relationships, just in case. While prenuptial agreements are drafted before a marriage, postnuptial agreements are drafted during the marriage, usually when circumstances change.
Paternity Law/Mediation
With approximately forty-percent of all children being born out of wedlock, we represent numerous unmarried parents in child custody and child support disputes. These cases are the twenty-first century dissolution and extremely common.
Guardianships and conservatorships
We also represent clients in matters of guardianships and conservatorships, helping them protect the people they love — especially when those people can no longer care for themselves. Our work in this area often involves people facing physical and mental illnesses, alcoholism and addiction.
Surrogacy Agreements
We can help clients negotiate surrogacy agreements, drafting and executing all related documents as well as resolving any conflicts that may arise.
Step-parent adoption
We represent parents in step-parent adoptions, which usually occur when a parent marries or remarries after the birth of a biological child. Step-parent adoptions help bring families closer together by creating a solid family unit.
Name Change
If you are seeking to legally change your name, we can help.
Orders of Protection
We can help you in legal proceedings involving restraining orders.
Adoption
We are honored to represent clients who wish to adopt a child into their family.
Minor emancipation
In some cases, minors do best when they are given the rights and responsibilities of adults. We assist in minor emancipation, representing both teens and their parents.
Grandparents' rights
Lawyers at our firm also handle grandparents' rights issues such as child custody, guardianship and grandparent adoption.

We represent parties in appeals of adverse family court judgments, including dissolution, child custody, child support, maintenance and grandparent visitation.
