On May 2, 2024, in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, Missouri, Matthew B. Kuse filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Crystal A. Kuse. Represented by attorney Brian H. Langley of Langley Law Firm, LLC, Matthew Kuse declared his residency in Missouri for over 42 years, with Crystal Kuse also residing in Missouri for over 90 days prior to the filing. The couple married on June 26, 2004, and officially separated on April 21, 2024. They have two minor children who have lived with both parents in Missouri for more than six months preceding the petition.
The petition outlines that the children should remain in joint legal and physical custody of both parents, a measure believed to be in the best interest of the minors. The document asserts there are no other legal proceedings or claims concerning the custody of the children, and neither parent is currently pregnant.
Matthew Kuse emphasizes the need for a fair division of marital assets, debts, and obligations accumulated during the marriage, requesting the court to follow Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01 and Form 14 guidelines for child support. He further states that neither party is a member of the Armed Forces and that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation.
In his plea, Matthew Kuse seeks an equitable division of property and joint custody of the children, alongside an order for Crystal Kuse to pay child support. This comprehensive legal action, spearheaded by his attorney, aims to ensure that both parties receive a fair resolution, maintaining the welfare of the children as the priority.
