In a twist of fate that has sent shockwaves through St. Charles County, Missouri, the marriage of Jessica Michelle Hunsaker and David Jonathan Hunsaker, consummated on July 11, 2009, has been thrust into the legal spotlight. A court filing dated September 12, 2023, lays bare the tumultuous journey of this couple, who share the responsibility of three children, but are now grappling with an “irretrievably broken” union, as stated in the filing.
Represented by Jane Ellen Tomich of Tomich Law Firm, LLC, Jessica Michelle Hunsaker has presented a compelling list of prayers to the court. At the forefront of her requests is the pursuit of joint legal and joint physical custody of their children, a poignant reflection of the desire to ensure the least disruption to the lives of their offspring amidst the impending dissolution. Notably, she has also called for child support payments, retroactive to the very date of the petition’s filing, underscoring the urgency of her financial concerns.
The petitioner’s financial well-being is further emphasized with her plea for maintenance payments, mirroring the gravity of the situation. She seeks these maintenance payments to be retroactive as well, alluding to the pressing need for financial support during the transitional period.
One of the key enigmas that the court will unravel pertains to the couple’s accumulated marital property and their individual, separate holdings. While it is confirmed that the parties possess both marital and separate assets, the filing refrains from divulging the specifics of these properties and debts, leaving room for intrigue.
Adding complexity to the equation, the petitioner has requested that her address be designated as the children’s official address for mailing and educational purposes, implying a potential tug-of-war over custody arrangements.
This legal maelstrom in St. Charles County now rests in the hands of the court, poised to make decisions that could reverberate through the lives of all involved parties. The stakes are high, as child custody, support, maintenance, the equitable division of property, and other orders deemed just and proper by the court hang in the balance.
