Divorce and Maintenance
When you’re going through a divorce, the process is likely going to be stressful or even traumatic. Divorce will, of course, affect you and your family emotionally as well as financially. And with a more contentious divorce, regardless of whether it’s taking place in Kansas City or in its suburbs, the emotional toll and financial toll will be higher. The attornies at the Jacoby Law Firm understand that your divorce will affect all parts of your life—your children, your relationship with your children, your property, your sense of identity. A Kansas City Divorce Lawyer at the Jacoby Law Firm also knows, however, that skillful handling of your divorce case can lead to a better financial outcome and less emotional conflict.
