On April 30, 2024, in the 11th Judicial Circuit Court of St. Charles County, Missouri, Amy E. Fila initiated legal proceedings to dissolve her marriage to Timothy C. Fila. Both lifelong residents of St. Charles County, Amy and Timothy were married on March 23, 1996. Their 27-year union produced two emancipated children and two minor children, aged eleven and eight. The separation on October 1, 2023, was precipitated by irreconcilable differences, leaving their marriage irretrievably broken.
Amy, who is self-employed, contends she requires spousal maintenance, claiming her income is insufficient to meet her needs. Timothy, also self-employed, is described as financially stable. The petition requests joint legal and physical custody of their minor children, with child support retroactive to the filing date. Amy has proposed a detailed parenting plan, asserting it aligns with the children’s best interests.
The filing underscores that no prior agreements exist regarding maintenance or custody, and neither party serves in the armed forces. Amy seeks equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities, as well as legal fees coverage by Timothy, citing his financial capability. Represented by attorney Amy E. Bender-Levy of Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal in St. Louis, Amy presents a structured appeal for judicial intervention to ensure fair outcomes for all parties involved.
