In St. Louis County, Missouri, a marriage is facing its final chapter. On August 5, 2024, Stephanie Hepler filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against Todd Hepler. The couple, who has two minor children, has been emotionally separated for some time. Represented by attorney Marshall R. Hoekel of Goldson Hoekel, LLC, Stephanie claims that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation.
Stephanie, who is newly employed, is requesting spousal maintenance and child support from Todd, who is employed at a substantial wage. Additionally, she is seeking coverage for her attorney fees and the restoration of her maiden name, Stephanie Liberty Zahara.
The petition also outlines the couple’s request for joint physical and legal custody of their children. Both parties have accumulated assets and obligations during the course of their marriage, and Stephanie is asking the court for a fair and equitable division of the marital property and debt.
As the case proceeds, the court will determine the final outcome, bringing this chapter of Stephanie’s life to a close.
