In a recent development out of Jackson County, Missouri, a dissolution of marriage case filed on September 8, 2023, has brought the marital challenges of Erica Marie Fett and Eric Robert Haselrick into the spotlight, with Stefani A. Balano of The Worstell Law Firm representing the petitioner. The couple, who exchanged vows on March 18, 2018, has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind their decision to seek legal separation, with neither party placing blame on the other.
In her role as the petitioner, Erica Marie Fett has meticulously outlined a series of prayers and requests within her legal filing. Foremost among her pleas is the dissolution of her marriage to Eric Robert Haselrick, marking the beginning of what promises to be a complex legal journey.
Adding to the complexity is the presence of a child born during the course of their union, further emphasizing the significance of this case. Erica has petitioned the court for joint legal and joint physical custody of their child. In a bid to ensure the child’s stability and well-being, she suggests designating her residence as the child’s primary address for mailing and educational purposes.
The matter of child support is another critical aspect of Erica’s requests. She seeks a court order for child support, aligning with Section 452.340.1, Rule 88.01, R.S.Mo, with retroactive application to the date of service. This financial support is crucial for securing the child’s future in the midst of the changes brought about by the impending separation.
Erica places significant emphasis on safeguarding the child’s health and overall welfare. She proposes that she be directed to provide medical insurance coverage for their child, underlining the importance of accessible healthcare. Moreover, she recommends that both parties share the responsibility for uninsured medical, dental, orthodontic, hospital, prescribed medicine, eye, ear, and counseling expenses, ensuring that the child’s health needs are adequately met.
In addressing the division of property and debts, Erica acknowledges the presence of both marital and non-marital properties. She is steadfast in her desire to adhere to their premarital agreement’s provisions, urging the court to consider this document when allocating marital debts and dividing assets. This meticulous approach underscores her commitment to a fair and equitable resolution.
Notably, both Erica and Eric are gainfully employed and self-sufficient, eliminating the need for either party to request maintenance from the other.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and emotional challenges that can accompany the dissolution of a marriage. The court’s ultimate decisions, as Erica’s prayers are considered, will undoubtedly shape the future of this family and the well-being of their child.
