Better laws to protect children recently passed concerning school bus accidents in Missouri.

Here are 3 things every parent should know about a school bus accident: 👇

🕣Time matters. Missouri gives you 5 years to file a personal injury lawsuit (RSMo § 516.120), but evidence degrades fast. Act within 30 days if not sooner.

🔑Multiple parties may be liable. It's not just the at-fault driver. The school district, bus company, or city infrastructure may share responsibility.

🫶Medical care shouldn't come out of your own pocket. Proper representation means the liable party is held responsible for all medical costs and damages.

🎓 "My ex says they're done paying child support now that our son is 18. Are they right?"
Depends which side of the river you're on.

In Illinois, courts can order divorced parents to help cover college costs — tuition, housing, books, even entrance exam fees — until your child turns 23 (sometimes 25).
🔑In Missouri, there's no automatic college obligation unless it was written into your original decree.

Two states, two very different answers. If you're facing divorce and child custody planning, be sure to think ahead to the college years.

Missouri judges now start every custody case by leaning toward equal time for both parents. That's the default but not a guarantee. A judge can still land somewhere else if the specifics of the case call for it.

In practice, an equal-time schedule only works well when the parenting plan itself is specific.
Back-to-school season is one common time when the gaps in a parenting plan tend to show up.

A solid plan should cover these 5 basic things and more:
✅ Who handles drop-off and pick-up
✅ How school breaks and early dismissals are split
✅ Who's the primary point of contact for the school
✅ Who decides on school choice or special education plans
✅ How extracurricular costs get divided

For parents heading into a custody case, or revisiting an existing plan, getting these specifics right up front avoids most of the conflict that shows up later.

If your plan is missing any of this — or you're heading into a custody case and want to build it right the first time — let's talk. Free initial consult. 📞 636-946-9999
