We can assist with general questions about court procedures, provide court-approved forms, and inform you about court services and community resources. However, we cannot offer legal advice, including guidance on whether to file a case, what language to use in court documents, how to present your case, or predictions about court outcomes. We can help you find information on understanding your legal rights and obtaining legal representation.

Missouri state law (section 452.600, RSMo) requires parents who are dissolving their marriage to attend an educational parenting program. The 13th Circuit utilizes Focus on Kids as an educational parenting program in Boone and Callaway counties.

The Missouri Bar website can assist you in finding a lawyer at www.mobar.org
