In a significant development in St. Louis County, Missouri, Michael Higgs initiated legal proceedings to dissolve his marriage to Lina Higgs on March 1, 2024. The couple, who tied the knot on December 18, 2010, faced insurmountable challenges leading to the acknowledgment of their marriage’s irretrievable brokenness, without attributing blame to either party. Notably, the couple shares the responsibility of caring for their two minor children, whose specific ages were not disclosed.
The petition, facilitated by attorney Riley Hamilton of Family Law Partners, outlines Michael Higgs’ prayers for the dissolution process. He seeks joint legal and joint physical custody of their children, designating himself as the residential parent. Additionally, Michael emphasizes that neither party should be awarded maintenance, and child support should not adhere to specific legal provisions, stressing fairness and equity in the distribution of assets and debts.
The filing underscores broader societal shifts in family dynamics and the evolving nature of legal proceedings concerning marriage dissolution. It reflects a pragmatic approach to addressing familial complexities while prioritizing the best interests of the children involved.
