In a filing submitted on March 7, 2025, William J. Stevenson is seeking the dissolution of his marriage to Tonya L. Stevenson in St. Louis County. The couple, who married on December 13, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada, came to a mutual decision to part ways after months of living separately. Their marriage, described as irretrievably broken, has been marked by challenges that neither party believes can be reconciled.
Represented by attorney Elizabeth P. Tadrick of Haefner Law Office, LLC, William Stevenson is requesting joint legal and joint physical custody of their two children. As part of his proposed parenting plan, he seeks a shared arrangement, ensuring that their children’s best interests are prioritized. William also requests that no child support be paid by either party, as both are financially stable and capable of providing for their children.
In addition to child custody, the petition includes a request for an equitable division of marital assets and debts, as well as the designation of separate property for each spouse. The couple’s assets and liabilities are complex, but Stevenson’s approach is one of fairness and balance. The request is clear: a fair dissolution that reflects the length of the marriage, their shared history, and their desire for a clean break.
This case is indicative of the growing trend where both parties work towards a mutual resolution, focusing on the future rather than the disputes of the past.
