In a recent filing in St. Louis County, Missouri, Christine Callison has petitioned for legal separation from her husband of 13 years, Edwin H. Callison III. The petition, filed on October 9, 2023, cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage. Christine is seeking sole legal and sole physical custody of their nine-year-old child, with reasonable visitation rights for Edwin. Additionally, she is requesting child support, maintenance, and an equitable division of marital property and debt.
The petition alleges that Edwin has repeatedly demonstrated confrontational behavior and has struggled with alcohol abuse, including several incidents of driving drunk. Christine believes that it is in the best interest of their child for her to be awarded sole legal custody.
The couple has one child together, and they have been married since April 18, 2009. Christine is represented by Margaret A. Boudreau from Growe Eisen Karlen Eilerts, LLC.
The petition also requests that Christine be restored to her maiden name, Christine Melissa Decker. The parties have marital property and debt, and the petitioner is seeking an equitable division of these assets.
