On July 29, 2024, in the bustling judicial corridors of St. Louis County, Missouri, Rae McInerney, represented by Neil Smith of The Smith Law Firm, LLC, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against her spouse, Sean McInerney. This legal maneuver comes after an 18-year union that began in the glitzy environs of Clark County, Nevada, on June 17, 2006. Rae, a St. Louis resident for over 90 days preceding the filing, declares irreconcilable differences as the culprit behind the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage, a rift so deep that no amount of marital glue could mend.
The McInerney household, once filled with shared dreams and a minor child, now stands at the brink of judicially sanctioned separation. Their child, who has been living with both parents for the past 60 days, becomes the focal point of future custodial arrangements. Rae’s plea seeks joint legal and physical custody, with her residence serving as the child’s primary domicile for mailing and educational purposes.
The petition meticulously outlines the equitable distribution of marital assets and debts, ensuring that non-marital properties are rightfully allocated. Rae emphasizes that both she and Sean, being able-bodied, are capable of self-support and thus, neither requires maintenance or attorney fees from the other.
In a narrative that reflects the stark realities of many modern marriages, this petition encapsulates the legal, emotional, and financial complexities entwined in the dissolution process. As the court gears up to untangle this marital knot, the hopes for a fair resolution hang in the balance, guided by the statutes of Missouri and the advocacy of legal counsel.
