Family law covers more than a single custody order, and our Oakville family law attorneys handle everything from a first parenting plan to a support case years later.
Key Takeaways:
Oakville is the kind of community where families put down roots for decades, which means the family law questions that come up here rarely stop at a single case. A custody order gets modified as kids grow, a support amount needs recalculating after a job change, and a paternity question sometimes surfaces years after everyone assumed it was settled.
Haefner Law Office is exclusively dedicated to family law, with more than 35 years of combined experience helping St. Louis County families through exactly these situations, whether it’s a first order or a case that’s already years in.

Our knowledgeable Oakville family law attorneys help clients sort out which piece actually applies before anything gets filed with the St. Louis County Circuit Court.
A 2-2-3 rotation works well for younger kids, alternating two days, two days, and a three-day weekend so neither parent goes more than a few days without seeing the child.
Week-on, week-off tends to fit older kids better, since it cuts down on mid-week exchanges once school activities and homework routines get more demanding.
A primary-residence schedule with every-other-weekend and a weeknight visit still comes up often, particularly when parents live far enough apart that daily exchanges aren’t realistic.
Our strategic Oakville family law attorneys help you build a schedule around your family’s actual routine, not a generic template.
Does our firm only handle divorce-related custody cases?
No. Our firm takes custody, child support, paternity, and modification matters whether or not a divorce is involved, and flat-rate pricing applies to family law matters when a case qualifies.
Can a support amount be recalculated if income changes?
Yes, a substantial change in either parent’s income is one of the most common reasons Missouri courts revisit an existing support order.
Does it matter which parent moved out first?
Not on its own. Missouri courts look at the overall custody arrangement and each parent’s involvement, not who left the home during separation.
