Law Firm Overview

The law firm of Carla J. Zolman, L.L.C. was established in 1996. Our firm handles divorce and other family law cases for Missouri clients throughout St. Louis County, Jefferson County, St. Charles County and the City of St. Louis. Going through a divorce can be emotionally exhausting and confusing. We believe divorce does not need to be a traumatic experience. Contact our firm and one of our lawyers can sit down and speak with you about your options for the following legal matters.

Divorce: Try to control your emotions. Emotional parties often slow down the process. When parties cooperate, they can reach an agreement faster.

Child Support/Child Custody : Our attorneys advise parents to keep children safe and out of the middle of a divorce. We help parents reach satisfying parenting agreements and fair child support payments.

Paternity: In order to obtain a custody or support award, you must establish paternity. Paternity disputes generally do not involve determining who the father is, but who should pay support, receive custody and establish visitations. Let us protect your rights as a parent.

Modification: Circumstances may have changed since the court issued its order. Courts do not want to look at trivial modification requests. You must show that there has been a substantial change in circumstances to warrant a modification.

Modifications of Divorce and Paternity : In both divorce and paternity cases, parties can go back to court to change custody and support orders. These changes are often requested when the needs of the children have changed. In some situations, paternity can be modified to adjust to the new custody and support arrangements.

Come in and discuss your situation with us. We are can represent you in contested and non-contested matters and we will work to negotiate or litigate an agreement that meets your needs. We will walk you through your divorce proceeding and ensure you understand the decisions you make.
