In the quiet corridors of the St. Louis County Family Court, a marriage unraveled with a petition filed on June 26, 2024. India Grant, represented by attorney Rand Elio Scopel of The Scopel Law Firm, seeks to dissolve her marriage with Katrell Smith. Both parties have resided in Missouri for more than ninety days preceding the filing, sharing a home in St. Louis, Missouri. The couple, married on December 14, 2019, separated on November 1, 2021, but continue to live under the same roof. Their union bore one child and saw the birth of another, whom both acknowledge is not from their marriage.
The petition requests joint legal and physical custody of their minor child, emphasizing their roles as fit custodians. India asserts that the best interest of their child lies in shared custody, though no formal arrangements for custody or support have been made. The petition underscores the absence of other custody claims or litigations involving their child.
In a succinct reflection of their lives, the court is asked to dissolve a marriage that is deemed irretrievably broken, to equitably divide their marital assets and debts, and to grant each their separate properties. India Grant stands firm in her request, seeking a fair resolution to a chapter that has reached its end.
