In a revealing petition filed on July 3, 2024, LaTosha Carter seeks to dissolve her marriage with Willie Christopher Carter III in the Family Court of St. Louis City, Missouri. The couple, married since June 1, 2013, has two children, Savannah and Shelby. The marriage has been marked by strife, culminating in their separation on July 31, 2023. LaTosha, represented by attorney Carla R. Allen-Hughes, contends that the marriage is irretrievably broken due to Willie’s marital misconduct and abandonment. LaTosha asserts she has been a faithful spouse, whereas Willie has failed to uphold his marital duties.
LaTosha requests sole legal custody and joint physical custody of the children, emphasizing a stable and nurturing environment. She also seeks reasonable child and spousal support, citing her ability to provide care but acknowledging financial constraints. The petition outlines the need for equitable division of marital assets and debts, with LaTosha retaining non-marital assets acquired during the marriage.
Furthermore, LaTosha calls for a court order preventing Willie from disposing of any marital assets until a fair division is reached. She also seeks reimbursement for legal fees incurred during the process. This case highlights significant issues of marital misconduct and financial support, setting the stage for a potentially contentious divorce proceeding in St. Louis City.
