[QUOTE=Scanfan64]I'm in NH. But I can recommend someone in Missouri, possibly.
I will say that attorneys fees are a function of the bullshitting back and forth. If spouse #1 wants to whine and bitch about everything, then both parties will pay high attorneys fees. Sometimes mediation works.
I am NOT a Missouri attorney, but, in NH, one year of marriage isn't long enough to warrant alimony, generally. NH Child Support is statutory and based on the income of both parties and is like a chart (discretion is minimal, unless special circumstances warrant it). Alimony is based on need, ability to pay, and contributions to the marriage.
Having went through it I'll confirm what Scan has said. For Child Support Missouri uses a formula to determine the amount the child should receive then each parent pays a precentage based on income. Alimony is not usually considered if the lady is capable of working. Another interesting thing is that under Missouri law you can get a desolution with just 1 attorney if you can agree on all the points. She can sign a quit claim on the house under a desolution as well.
