How Missouri Divides Property

Missouri uses equitable distribution to divide marital property at divorce. Courts consider each spouse’s income, contributions to the marriage, length of the marriage, and other factors — but “equitable” doesn’t mean equal. A prenup lets you define your own division rules in advance, removing uncertainty about how a court might split your assets.

How Clause Helps

Your Clause prenup explicitly defines which property is separate and which is marital, overriding Missouri's default equitable distribution rules with terms you both agree on.
