In a recent development in St. Louis County, Missouri, a marriage dissolution petition was filed on April 16, 2024, by Catarina M. Wood against Jeremy P. Wood. With three children involved, the marriage, which began on March 20, 2013, is declared irretrievably broken, with future reconciliation attempts deemed futile. The petitioner, represented by Brian Langley of Langley Law Firm, LLC, seeks various resolutions, including division of marital assets and debts, restoration of her maiden name, joint custody of the children, child support, maintenance, and litigation costs.
The filing underscores Catarina M. Wood’s request for joint legal and physical custody of the children, highlighting the fit and proper nature of both parties for such responsibility. It also emphasizes the mutual duty of support owed to the minor children by both petitioner and respondent. Additionally, the petitioner seeks maintenance from the respondent, citing financial dependency despite employment. Notably, the respondent, deemed capable of meeting litigation costs, is urged to bear the petitioner’s attorney fees, reflecting the complexity of marital dissolution and the broader challenges faced by families navigating such legal processes.
