Reviews From Past Clients

“Wow, there’s so much I have to say about Cordell & Cordell. I walked in with tears in my eyes hopeless because everything was taken a way from me. Father of 7 children that was told there’s no hope for the fathers now days. Cordell & Cordell welcomed me in their hands and proved everyone wrong. They were there for me and my children until the end.”

– Izet K.

“It took years for me to come to a decision to end my marriage. I sought a law firm that is focused and prepared for trial if need be, and seeks to give me the best outcome possible. Cordell and Cordell has performed very well and is very supportive during this difficult time. I have full confidence in my representation and recommend them.”

– Mason B.

“Cordell & Cordell has been really helpful in all my divorce and custody-related needs, even when I have been struggling to make ends meet, they remained communicative regarding my account. I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”

– Amanda H

“Divorce is hard enough without trying to find a Lawyer who will truly work for you. I had several conversations with Lawyers that seemed only interested in winning somehow. No one wins in a divorce. I should have went to Cordell & Cordell first so I would have avoided a lot of headaches. I met a group of people that genuinely care for you.”

– Mark L.

    Town and Country, MO Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do I have to live in Saint Louis to file for divorce?

    Residency requirements are specific per state statute. The general rule allows a party to file a Petition for divorce in the county that he resides or the county that the other party resides.

    Technically, if an individual has lived in the county for 1 day, then that person can file for divorce; however, that general rule is subject to several exceptions.

    If the Respondent argues that the Petitioner should have filed the divorce in a different county, then the divorce action could be transferred to a county that has more contacts to the marriage.

    A judge will generally transfer a case to a different county if:

    1. Within the 90 days prior to filing of the Petition the other party to the case resided in a different county with minor children who are subject to the divorce proceedings; and

    2. There are significant ties to another county, such as marital residence or other property is located in another county.

    Is there a mandatory waiting period before a Saint Louis divorce can be granted? How long will a divorce take?

    There is a waiting period before the divorce may be granted. This time frame is set by state statute and is 30 days from the date that the Petition was filed.

    The time that a divorce takes to complete is difficult to estimate. You must properly file paperwork with the Circuit Clerk and your case must be placed on the judge’s docket.

    Sometimes judges are overloaded with work and your case is not scheduled for several months from the date you filed. This delay in scheduling can cause a delay in your divorce becoming finalized.

    If you have an attorney and both parties are able to agree to the division of debts, assets and child support (if children are involved), then the process is generally faster and can take less than 60 to 90 days.

    How can I serve my spouse in Saint Louis County? If attempts to serve do not work, can I serve by publication?

    There are several methods to serve your spouse. The quickest and easiest way is to request a special process server. This person is hired by you to seek out and find your spouse and serve her with the Petition for Dissolution.

    You may also use the local sheriff’s office for service. However, the sheriff’s department will generally not wait around your wife’s work for several hours if she is trying to avoid service.

    If you are unable to locate your spouse, you may serve him or her by publication. State law requires that you provide notice in a newspaper of general circulation in a county where the civil action is commenced once a week for four consecutive weeks.

    What are the specific forms I will need to file for a Saint Louis Divorce?

    In Saint Louis County, you will need to file a Petition, an Income and Expense Statement, a Property Statement, a Case Information Filing Sheet, a Certificate of Dissolution, and a certificate of any prior family law matters (can be a simple statement as to whether you previously participated in a family law case or child custody matter with these same parties).

    In Saint Louis City, you will need to file a Petition, an Income and Expense Statement, a Property Statement, a Case Information Filing Sheet, and a Certificate of Dissolution.

    Where do I file for divorce?

    You cannot file for divorce in municipal court. In Saint Louis County, you need to file at the 21st Judicial Circuit Court located at 7900 Carondelet in Clayton.

    In Saint Louis City, you need to file at the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court located at 10 N. Tucker in downtown Saint Louis.
