What to Know About Custody Law in Missouri

Child custody and visitation issues are largely handled under state law. As a parent going through a divorce, separation, or other type of custody issues, it is essential that you understand how Missouri law works. Here are three things to know about custody laws in Missouri: 

1. Legal and Physical Custody are Separate Concepts: The term custody refers to both “physical” and “legal” custody. Whereas physical custody is the time where the child actually spends his/her time, legal custody is decision-making authority. 
2. Best Interests of the Child Comes First: Missouri has a “best interests of the child” statute. In a custody dispute before a court, the child’s best interests—in regards to health, safety, well-being, and development—come first.  
3. Collaborative Parenting Presumed Best: Sole custody can be awarded in Missouri. However, courts always default to shared, collaborative parenting when possible.
