Is Missouri a No-Fault Divorce State?
Understanding whether you can file an at-fault or no-fault divorce in Missouri is an important step in the process.
Yes, Missouri is indeed a no-fault divorce state. This designation means that couples seeking a divorce in Missouri are not required to prove fault or misconduct of the other spouse to get their divorce granted. Instead, they only have to demonstrate that their marriage is irretrievably broken and cannot be salvaged. This major aspect of Missouri divorce laws allows for a smoother facilitation of the divorce process, as there is no need for blame games or accusations, thus making the whole process less contentious and emotionally draining.
This leaves separating spouses to determine if they will be filing for divorce in Missouri as either contested or uncontested.

David and his paralegal Tammee are great, the paralegal will keep you up to date and in the loop on everything. She is very understanding and you would not have found a better Attorney/Paralegal team that actually knows what they are doing. Tammee had my ex served as soon as she located her, it was a blessing to be able to obtain this Attorney and their lawfirm. You both are the best and thank you so much for the outcome that I wanted to get and they got it for me.- Jeremiah P.

My experience with this firm has been beyond amazing. Tamee, the paralegal has been my devoted champion from day one. I called a few firms in the beginning and this is the only one that would answer my questions without forcing me to make an appointment and come in. This was a big deal for me because I had just started a new job.- Laura L.

Attorney fees were reasonable and they show details on where your money is going on your case through their website. David and Tamee were great getting back to me via email or phone on any questions I had concerning my case. I highly recommend David Shuler for an attorney and he has a great paralegal Tamee to keep on top of the paperwork.- Julie M.

Ive hired David a couple of times. Once with my divorce and he did real good and got what I wanted. The second time i was in a motorcycle accident, not my fault, and he went after the insurance company. Got my bills paid for, missed work pay and then some. I would hire him any day!- Glen D.
