In the quiet suburb of St. Peters, Missouri, the marriage of Marisa M. Cooper and Kevin J. Cooper is drawing to a close. Marisa filed for dissolution on July 31, 2024, in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court. Both residents of St. Charles County, the Coopers have lived apart since October 2023. The petition asserts that their marriage, which began on May 30, 2015, in Alton, Illinois, is irretrievably broken.

Marisa, represented by attorney Kevin D. Morris from Boehmer Law, LLC, is not seeking maintenance, highlighting her self-sufficiency. The Coopers share two minor children, and the petition proposes joint legal and physical custody, following a Consent Parenting Plan. Missouri remains the home state for the children, and Marisa assures the court that no other custody disputes exist.

The financial responsibilities towards their children are a focal point. Marisa emphasizes that Kevin is capable of contributing substantially to their support. Both parties are portrayed as equal caregivers, yet Marisa seeks child support from Kevin to ensure the children’s welfare.

Property division and debt allocation are also addressed, with Marisa requesting a fair and equitable split of both marital and individual assets and liabilities. This case is a testament to the complexities of ending a marriage while striving to maintain stability for their children.
