Tyler Kremer filed a petition in the 22nd Judicial Circuit of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, seeking child custody and child support on April 1, 2026. The petition identifies Samantha Thole as the respondent and notes that she has been residing in Illinois since February 3, 2026. Kremer, a resident of Missouri for more than ninety days preceding the filing, asserts that Thole relocated the minor children without his consent and has limited his access to them, confining contact to supervised visits in Illinois.
The petition details the history of the children’s residency, citing that they lived with both parties in St. Louis from birth until the move to Illinois. Kremer requests joint legal and physical custody, structured according to a proposed parenting plan filed with the court. He emphasizes that it is in the best interests of the children to maintain consistent involvement from both parents.
Financial considerations are central to the filing. Kremer asserts that the children cannot provide for their own support and care and that both parents are able-bodied and capable of earning income sufficient to meet their needs. He requests that child support be calculated in accordance with Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01 and Form 14 Guidelines. Kremer also seeks contribution from Thole toward his attorney’s fees, asserting that the litigation is a direct consequence of her actions.
The petition situates the dispute within the procedural framework of Missouri family law, emphasizing the court’s role in defining custody, support, and parental responsibilities. It reflects a measured attempt to establish orderly arrangements and accountability, ensuring that the children’s needs are addressed while the parents’ respective obligations are clearly delineated.
