Ksenia I. Issler has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Derek D. Issler in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, Missouri. This petition, lodged on May 15, 2024, reveals that Ksenia has been a Missouri resident since April 6, 2024, and Derek has resided in Illinois since October 2023. Married on June 12, 2022, in Benton, Arkansas, the couple has been separated since April 2, 2024.

Ksenia is currently unemployed, while Derek’s employment status remains unknown. Their union produced one child, Katerina Elizabeth Issler, born on January 3, 2023. The petition highlights that Katerina has lived with Ksenia in Missouri, establishing it as her home state. Ksenia seeks sole legal and physical custody of Katerina, noting that there have been no prior custody disputes or claims from others regarding the child.

The couple has accumulated both property and debts during their marriage but has not agreed on a settlement. Ksenia asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken and seeks a fair division of property, with each party retaining their non-marital assets. She requests that Derek contribute to the child’s support, reflective of the standard of living Katerina is entitled to, and that he pays her attorney’s fees incurred during the filing.

Ksenia is represented by Adam Childers-Arnold of Stange Law Firm, P.C. She implores the court to dissolve the marriage, grant her sole custody of their daughter, and ensure Derek’s financial contributions align with the child’s needs.
