Wide-Ranging Experience On A Multitude Of Family Law Matters

Family law encompasses numerous legal issues. Grant, Miller & Smith, LLC, handles almost any type of family law matter, with a special emphasis on:

  • Divorce: Whether you are facing a complex, high-asset divorce involving the division of property or an uncontested split, attorneys William Grant and Henry Miller can simplify the process for you and protect your interests through each stage of the proceedings.
  • Separation: If you are not ready to pursue divorce, separation may provide a better solution. In Missouri, couples who legally separate can put their marriage on pause while retaining their marital status. To secure an order of legal separation, you will need to divide your property and assets and agree to terms for child custody and support. Our attorneys can help you negotiate for fair terms and help you move forward with a divorce if necessary.
  • Child custody: In addition to representing adults in child custody cases, both Mr. Grant and Mr. Miller regularly act as guardians ad litem (court-appointed advocates for children), bringing a valuable perspective to custody cases. Their in-depth knowledge of Missouri’s child custody law and ability to view cases objectively, from all angles, are key strengths in this often emotionally charged area of law.
  • Child support: Paying child support is an obligation for all parents, not an option. Our attorneys are well-versed in state child support laws and the formula that judges use to determine each parent’s financial responsibility. Whether you need a strong ally by your side in negotiations or in court, we will aggressively pursue an outcome that secures a full and fair agreement.
  • Modifications: Changing the terms of a child custody arrangement, spousal maintenance (alimony) obligation or child support award requires court approval. Proposed modifications must also meet certain legal standards to be successful. Mr. Grant and Mr. Miller provide detailed guidance for those seeking or opposing modifications.
  • Adoptions: The firm handles grandparent adoptions, stepparent adoptions, agency adoptions, same-sex adoptions and at-risk adoptions.
  • Same-sex relationships: Same-sex marriages present their own set of complexities. Mr. Grant and Mr. Miller have been advocating for the rights of same-sex couples since before Missouri recognized same-sex marriage. They have stayed at the cutting edge of this important issue.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Mr. Grant and Mr. Miller advise clients on the impact of marital agreements, including drafting and reviewing them.
  • Transgender issues: As strong advocates for the transgender community, the firm can assist in matters such as name change and gender or other change.
  • Guardianship of minors and adults: The need to take legal guardianship of a child or an adult can be an extremely difficult decision to make, often shaking the very foundation of a family. Our attorneys can help you through this sensitive process.
  • Domestic violence: Family law disputes are often highly sensitive matters that can escalate when emotions are enflamed. Missouri laws protect individuals who have been abused by a family member, partner or significant other. Our attorneys help clients file for an order of a protection or defend against domestic abuse allegations.
  • Annulments: In the eyes of the law, an annulled married never existed. In Missouri, it is difficult to secure an annulment because parties need to prove that their marriage is not valid due to lack of capacity, fraud and other grounds. Should you seek an annulment, our attorneys can help you build a compelling case in court.
  • Name changes: Whether you need assistance changing your name due to divorce, remarriage or another significant life event, our attorneys can guide you through the process. We can identify which documents you will need to submit and help you file them with the appropriate agency.
