Kristin L. Eckert and Eric F. Eckert, both residing in Missouri 63368, initiated divorce proceedings on February 22, 2024, after over a decade of marriage since September 20, 2008. The couple, parents to two unemancipated children, filed for dissolution citing an irretrievable breakdown of their relationship, with no explicit blame attributed to either party.

In the petition, Kristin L. Eckert requested joint legal custody of their children, with decisions to be made jointly, and sought child support from Eric F. Eckert. The filing also includes a request for a fair distribution of marital assets and debts, with provisions for each party’s separate, non-marital property. Notably, no spousal maintenance was requested.

The legal representation for Kristin L. Eckert is provided by The Lacey Law Firm, LLC, represented by J. Ronald Lacey and Mark C. Lacey.

St. Charles County, Missouri, where the petition was filed, is witnessing another chapter in the evolving landscape of family dynamics. The court emphasized the importance of joint legal custody for the welfare of the children involved, underlining the financial capability of each party to cover their legal expenses.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the Eckerts navigate the complexities of separation, aiming for an amicable resolution despite the inherent challenges. The dissolution not only marks the end of a marital journey but also signifies a new beginning for the individuals involved, as they embark on separate paths towards the next phase of their lives.
