In the shadow of New Year’s celebrations, Andrea R. Lasater filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Luke A. Lasater in the Family Court Division of St. Charles County, Missouri, on January 2, 2025. Their nearly decade-long union, marked by three children, began on April 11, 2015, in Wentzville, Missouri. Now, Andrea asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken, leaving no reasonable path to reconciliation.

Andrea, represented by attorney Timothy A. Lohmar of Lohmar Law, proposes a joint legal and physical custody arrangement for their children, designating her residence as the primary for educational and mailing purposes. Her petition includes a parenting plan, advocating for child support to be calculated under Missouri’s Form 14 guidelines. Both parties remain in the family home but have yet to establish agreements on property division, child custody, or spousal support.

The petition outlines Andrea’s request for equitable division of marital property and debts, setting aside any separate property. She seeks approval of a potential marital settlement agreement or judicial intervention if one cannot be reached. Notably, both Andrea and Luke are long-term residents of Missouri, fulfilling the state’s jurisdictional requirements for this filing.

This petition marks not just the end of a marriage but the beginning of a new chapter, as Andrea asks the court to formalize a path forward for her family while ensuring the children’s welfare remains a priority.
