Missouri Divorce Info Launches Asset and Debt Division Course

July 27, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Missouri Divorce Info, an online legal education provider, has launched a new catalog of attorney-authored courses for Missouri residents, beginning with a course on how marital assets and debts are divided in a divorce. The launch is aimed at people across the Saint Louis area and the wider state who want to understand the financial side of a dissolution before they begin making decisions.

Missouri Divorce Info provides online education on asset and debt division for residents of Saint Louis and the surrounding Greater St. Louis region, including St. Charles and St. Louis counties. The Basic Asset and Debt Division course explains how Missouri distinguishes marital property from separate property, how the principle of equitable distribution under RSMo 452.330 shapes the way courts divide what a couple owns and owes, and how documents such as the Statement of Property and Debt fit into the process.

The course is delivered as a set of self-paced online lessons and is educational rather than legal representation. It is built to give people a clear, structured walk-through of a subject that often causes confusion at the start of a divorce. The material covers the difference between assets acquired during a marriage and property a spouse brings into it or receives separately, how debts are treated alongside those assets, and the basics of how spousal maintenance can interact with an overall financial settlement. It does not offer advice on an individual case or prepare any court filing.

A central reason for building the course around Missouri specifically is that the rules for dividing property are set by state law and differ from one state to another. Rather than general information that could apply anywhere, the course works through the Missouri framework, so that someone reading it is learning the rules that will actually apply to their situation. The aim is to help people reach the negotiating table, or a first meeting with an attorney, already understanding the terms and the structure of the decisions ahead.

The course is written with two groups in mind: people who intend to represent themselves and need to understand the process, and people who are deciding whether to hire an attorney and want to weigh that choice from an informed position. Both, the business says, benefit from understanding how property and debt are handled before money and time are committed.

Every course in the catalog is written by Shannon Norman, a Missouri family-law attorney with more than 15 years of practice. Norman holds a Juris Doctor from St. Louis University School of Law and is licensed to practice in Missouri and Louisiana. Missouri Divorce Info says the material reflects the questions Missouri residents actually face rather than generic legal information, and the business states that it has guided more than 500 families through domestic matters.

"People often come to the asset and debt stage feeling overwhelmed, because it touches almost everything they own and owe," said Shannon Norman, Founder and Author of Missouri Divorce Info. "The aim of this course is to take that apart one step at a time, so someone can understand how Missouri approaches marital property and move forward with clarity and confidence instead of confusion."

The asset and debt division course is positioned as a starting point rather than a substitute for an attorney where one is needed. For people who decide they want representation or tailored guidance, Missouri Divorce Info operates a Lawyer Network that connects users with family-law attorneys across the state, sitting alongside the courses and a library of free resources.

"This is the first of a growing set of Missouri-specific courses," Norman added. "There is more to come, and the goal is to keep giving the Missouri community a trustworthy place to begin."

The asset and debt division course sits within a wider catalog that also includes a free introductory course for people who are still deciding how to approach a separation. Further information about the course and the rest of the catalog is available on the Missouri Divorce Info website
