Uncontested & "Grey" Divorces in St. Louis, Kansas City, MO and Southern Illinois

More and more mature couples and "empty nesters" are opting to end their marriages later in life in what's known as a "grey" divorce. While this may enable them to make the most of the time they have left, it can also bring up complicated legal issues, such as how to divide a lifetime of assets and what to do about retirement.

The story of your marriage may be particularly complicated because there are "two sets" of adult children and that can make for emotionally complex issues to mediate. We have seen many cases where, if the emotional issues have not been mediated, the financial and property conundrums would not have been satisfactorily resolved. If an attorney does not consider these emotional issues "relevant", you may have the wrong attorney!
