Family Law

The legal and financial issues involved in family law are among the most serious and complex a person may ever face. We understand the emotional nature of family legal matters and how important trust is in the attorney client relationship. The Farwell Law Firm strives to give personal attention to every case so that each of our services can be tailored to your needs. You need an experienced and caring family lawyer to address your goals and help you do what is best for you and your family.

Divorce, paternity actions, relocations and custody modifications make up the lion’s share of family law cases, but this also encompasses adoptions as well as guardianships. Unfortunately, these are typically the most emotionally charged cases that many people are ever involved in. Once a divorce or custody dispute arises these actions are filed, and there are a plethora of filings that are required to be filed with the court within certain time standards. Temporary custody motions as well as discovery between the parties soon follow, though the action itself can take months to complete. Farwell Law Firm has remained a consistent leader in family law cases with professional representation in Kirksville, MO and surrounding counties. Common issues that arise invariably concern custody, visitation, parenting plans, child support, and spousal maintenance. It is important to always remember that while you and the other party may have been dealing with problems for years, you walk into a court in front of a Judge that will only hear what evidence you can produce in a couple days worth of trial. It is imperative to be well prepared for these cases and have an attorney with experience. We have handled hundreds of these cases start to finish, from filing through trial or settlement, and would be glad to discuss your case. If you are looking for a Family Lawyer to represent your case, call on us to be your family law firm.
