In the legal filing dated November 16, 2023, Erin Ball seeks the dissolution of her marriage with David Ball, citing “irreconcilable difficulties and differences.” The couple, who wed on June 9, 2009, shares a 10-year-old son named Troy Davis Ball. Erin’s prayers include joint decision-making for Troy, sole decision-making if cooperation fails, guideline child support, contribution to the child’s expenses, maintenance from David, and the equitable division of marital property. Leah Trachtman, from Leah Trachtman Law, LLC, represents Erin in this matter.

Erin’s requests encompass not only financial aspects but also include barring David from receiving maintenance, awarding Erin her non-marital property, and resuming her former name, “Erin Carman.” The filing further emphasizes David’s responsibility for marital obligations and debts and requests his contribution to Erin’s attorney’s fees and costs.

Quotes from the filing highlight the irreconcilable nature of the couple’s differences, Erin’s need for maintenance, David’s financial responsibility for their child, the failure of reconciliation efforts, and the demand for David to fulfill certain marital obligations and debts.
