In Saint Louis County, Missouri, Lisa Gaines-Hatcher filed for the dissolution of her marriage with Nathaniel L. Hatcher on February 19, 2024. Lisa, whose address is listed as a Safe at Home Address, alleges irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and accuses Nathaniel of marital misconduct. The couple doesn’t have unemancipated children born of their union, and the date of their marriage remains undisclosed.
Lisa, represented by Margaret P. Murphy from Margaret P. Murphy, LLC., petitions for various reliefs, including the division of marital property and debts, set aside of separate property, and monthly maintenance from Nathaniel. She also seeks the restoration of her maiden name, Lisa Ann Gaines.
The filing underscores the irreconcilable differences between Lisa and Nathaniel, signaling the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. Nathaniel is accused of marital misconduct, though the nature of the misconduct is unspecified.
Details regarding child support, sole responsibility of children, and parental decision-making are omitted from the filing. However, Lisa’s request for maintenance suggests her financial dependence on Nathaniel.
The petition mentions marital property and debts but lacks specific resolutions. Lisa’s emphasis on restoration of her maiden name underscores her desire for a clean break from the marriage.
