In a filing dated September 21, 2023, Kyle G. Hock of Timothy Ridge Drive, St. Charles, Missouri, initiated legal proceedings against Meghan E. Hock of Sherman Drive, St. Charles, Missouri. The couple, who married on July 26, 2009, has one child together, although the child’s age is not specified in the filing.

The document cites “irreconcilable differences” as the cause behind the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage,” though it does not assign blame to either party. Kyle G. Hock’s prayers to the court include the dissolution of the marriage, sole physical custody, and joint legal custody of their minor child, along with child support retroactive to the filing date. The filing also calls for the denial of maintenance for either party and the equitable division of marital property and debts. It highlights the need to set aside non-marital property for each party and seeks reimbursement of attorney fees and litigation costs.

The petitioner, represented by Christopher M. Boedefeld from the Law Office of Baerveldt & Boedefeld, LLC, is requesting child support and sole physical custody of the child. While the filing does not explicitly mention parental decision-making, it emphasizes the need to divide marital property and debts in a manner deemed just by the court, reflecting the complex financial aspects of the divorce.

In the midst of irreconcilable differences, the filing reveals the parties’ determination to navigate the legal process, striving for an equitable resolution that will best serve their child’s interests and ensure a fair distribution of assets and debts.
