In the heart of St. Charles County, Missouri, Erin M. Olson took a significant step on November 8, 2024, filing her Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against her husband, Andrew R. Olson. The couple, whose marriage began on May 25, 2003, now faces the end of their union, citing irreconcilable differences and the irreversible breakdown of their relationship. Having shared a home for the duration of their marriage, Erin and Andrew are well-established residents of Missouri, each living in the county for over a decade.
Despite the dissolution request, Erin’s concerns extend far beyond just the termination of their relationship. The couple’s three minor children, all of whom have lived with both parents at the same residence, are central to the petition. Erin, represented by Jonathan D. Marks of The Marks Law Firm, L.L.C., is asking the court to award joint legal and physical custody of the children, with her home designated as the primary residence for educational and mailing purposes. She also seeks retroactive child support, effective from the date of the filing, to ensure the children’s needs are met during this transition.
While Erin asserts that no spousal maintenance should be awarded to either party, she requests an equitable division of marital property and debts. The petition makes it clear that both parties are capable of supporting themselves and are not in need of maintenance from one another. Furthermore, Erin requests that any non-marital property be assigned separately.
This dissolution, filled with complex emotions and legal intricacies, marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Olson family. The path ahead will undoubtedly involve further court proceedings, but for now, Erin seeks a resolution that will prioritize the well-being of her children and the fair distribution of marital assets
