Called “The Show-Me State,” Missouri has long been considered a political front-runner state: With the exception of 1860, 1956 and 2008, Missouri's results in U.S. presidential elections have accurately predicted the next President of the United States in every election since 1904. Lots of famous people come from this state, including Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), former president Harry Truman, Walter Cronkite, Walt Disney and countless others. How does Missouri stack up against the other state as far as divorce goes? Not terrible; it comes in at #16 with a rate of under 5 percent. But sadly, Missourians do break the marital ties; and when they do, the cautious ones look for a competent lawyer to handle the details.
