In a recent filing in the St. Louis County Circuit Court, Latonya Weston seeks the dissolution of her marriage to Kelvin Lynn Weston, citing irreconcilable differences compounded by alleged marital misconduct. The petition, filed on November 20, 2023, discloses a marriage date of December 18, 1998, and reveals that the couple, who share no unemancipated children, physically separated in June 2023.
The grounds for dissolution outline a tumultuous relationship, accusing Kelvin of engaging in extramarital affairs and subjecting Latonya to both mental and physical abuse. The filing asserts that there is no reasonable likelihood of preserving the marriage.
Latonya, represented by attorney Alexandra M. Hart from STL Law Group, LLC, has presented a comprehensive list of prayers to the court. These include the dissolution of the marriage, an award of maintenance retroactive to the filing date, and an order for Kelvin to cover Latonya’s attorney fees and litigation costs. The petition also calls for a fair and equitable division of separate, marital property, and debts, following Missouri statutes.
The filing lacks explicit details on child-related matters, such as child support, sole responsibility, and parental decision-making. However, the petitioner seeks joint legal and physical custody if deemed in the best interest of the children.
The case unfolds against the backdrop of an alleged Marital Settlement Agreement, with the petitioner urging the court to find it fair and not unconscionable or, in the absence of such an agreement, to handle property division judiciously.
