In a recent development in St. Louis County, Missouri, Michael T. Lasater filed for the dissolution of his marriage to Makayla F. Lasater on October 2, 2023. The couple, who exchanged vows on December 7, 2019, in St. Louis, Missouri, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation, with no blame assigned to either party.

The couple has one child, although the child’s age remains undisclosed. Michael T. Lasater’s prayers, outlined in the filing, include seeking a declaration that the marriage is irretrievably broken, as well as a request for joint legal and physical custody per a parenting plan.

Notably, there is no specific mention of child support or sole responsibility for the child, indicating a potential commitment to shared parenting and decision-making.

The legal representation for the petitioner, Michael T. Lasater, is provided by Michael P. O’Shea of Family Law Partners, LLC. The filing also touches upon the equitable division of property and debts, as highlighted in paragraph 18.

This dissolution comes after the couple’s separation on September 10, 2023. Currently, the child resides with the respondent in North Carolina. The couple appears to be pursuing an amicable resolution, focusing on the equitable division of their property and debts rather than assigning blame or seeking maintenance.
