In Missouri, marital misconduct, formerly grounds for divorce, may be described as any behavior contributing to the breakdown of the marriage relationship. Economic fault, alcoholism, adultery, and domestic violence or abusive behaviors are all actions that may be considered married misconduct.

Satisfaction of Judgment: Once a defendant has paid-off a judgment, this form is used by the person receiving the money or property to let the court know that the judgment has been paid. Do not use this form to satisfy a judgment that contains an ongoing obligation, i.e. child support or maintenance.

To obtain a continuance and/or delay of a trial setting in Missouri, a party needs to comply with Rule 65.03. This requires, among other things, that the request be accompanied by the affidavit of the movant or some other credible person setting forth the facts upon which the request for continuance is based.

An application for a continuance shall be made by a written motion accompanied by the affidavit of the applicant or some other credible person setting forth the facts upon which the application is based, unless the adverse party consents that the application for continuance may be made orally.

You will also have a better chance of getting a continuance if you provide a good, plausible reason for your request, such as a conflicting hearing or doctor's appointment scheduled at the same time as the hearing that you are requesting be continued.

You are allowed ONE continuance prior to your first court date as long as there are no special circumstances such as cases in which a victim or witness have been subpoenaed. Continuances may be requested by contacting the court at 816.630. 0209, Monday-Friday, am ? pm.
