On a crisp March day—March 10, 2025, to be exact—Keisha M. Barnett walked into the St. Louis County Circuit Court, Missouri, armed with a petition to end her marriage to Robert L. Silver. She wasn’t alone; Neil Smith of The Smith Law Firm, LLC, stood by her side, guiding her through the paperwork that would close a chapter opened October 22, 2010, in St. Louis. They’d been apart since February 10, 2014, the marriage long since fractured by irreconcilable differences, a bond beyond repair.
Two children, their ages left unnoted, anchor Keisha’s fight—she’s asking for sole custody, legal and physical, their home with her as the hub for school and mail. Robert’s whereabouts? A blank to her now, though he once called St. Louis County home. Child support’s already in play from an old order; she wants it untouched. Property and debts from their years together need splitting, her non-marital share set aside. Maintenance? She says she’s fine without it, standing on her own.
This isn’t a flashy showdown—it’s a mother’s steady push for her kids, a quiet bid to sort out the pieces and move on.
