On the latest episode of Cordell & Cordell’s podcast series about divorce during COVID-19, CEO Scott Trout discusses the status of family courts in the state of Missouri during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the family courts begin to open back up in the state of Missouri, men and fathers need to be aware of how to approach the situation, if they feel like they need to file for divorce.
Mr. Trout breaks down the concept of a retroactive date, as it pertains to the modification of child support, as well as the importance of documenting and journaling when in the midst of a divorce or child custody case.
