In St. Charles County, Missouri, Emily Hager filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Robert Hager on October 16, 2024, in the Family Court Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Emily asserts that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, with the parties having been constructively separated. She claims Robert’s behavior has made it impossible for her to continue living with him.
The couple has three children, and Emily is asking the court to grant her sole legal and physical custody. Additionally, she is seeking child support payments retroactive to the date the petition was filed, arguing that Robert, who has substantial earning capacity, should bear financial responsibility. Emily also requests that Robert cover her attorney’s fees, suit monies, and court costs. Her attorney, Joshua G. Knight of Knight Law, LLC, is representing her.
In her filing, Emily submitted a proposed parenting plan and is asking the court to divide their marital property equitably while setting aside her separate property. She also seeks wage assignments for child support and enforcement of custody and visitation orders through law enforcement if necessary. The case will now proceed with the court addressing custody, property division, and financial obligations between the parties.
