Murder suspect served with divorce papers
Ordered to pay $1,433 per month in child support
Early in September, following the arrest of Shawn Morgan, 43, of Senath, Mo., a petition for divorce and a request for a temporary restraining order was entered into the Dunklin County court docket by his wife, Tonya, 39, also of Senath.
According to reports, Morgan's wife, Tonya filed with the courts a petition to dissolve her marriage to Morgan on Sept. 6, 2011.. Also filed that day was a proposed parenting plan and a certificate of inability to pay costs, fees, and expenses.
The following day, on Sept. 7, a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction without notice was filed as well as a temporary restraining order and an affidavit in support of the motion. The prepared order was officially filed on Sept. 29 of this year.
A summons was then prepared in the Dunklin County Circuit court by the Dunklin County Sheriff's Department and was personally delivered to Morgan on Sept. 9.
Appearing at a hearing held on Sept. 22, attorneys for both appeared on their behalf to account for expenditures of funds/transfer of personal property belonging to both parties after Aug. 6, of this year.
According to reports, on Wednesday, Oct. 12, Morgan appeared in person with her attorney, Shannon Wright Morgan. Her husband, although he was summoned failed to appear and was found to be in default. The decision of the court found that the marriage was irretrievably broken and the divorce was granted. Morgan's wife has been granted sole custody of their three minor children and Shawn Morgan is ordered to pay a sum of $1,433 per month in child support. Child support should begin 30 days following his release from incarceration. Support payments are ordered to FSPC. A further decision by the court was that Morgan has no rights of visitation with his children. The preliminary injunction previously entered has been dissolved. Additionally, the court restored Morgan's former name of Smith. The divorce was uncontested.
Morgan has appeared in court four times before Judge John C. Spielman, the last time being on Tuesday, Oct. 4. At this time, Morgan appeared with his attorneys, Thomas Marshall and Charles Moreland, public defenders from Columbia, Mo. During the hearing Judge Spielman set a preliminary hearing for 1:30 p.m., on Monday, Nov. 7.
Morgan was arrested and charged in the disappearance and death of three-year-old BreeAnn Rodriguez, also of Senath, on Aug. 13 of this year. He is facing multiple charges which include felony counts of first degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with physical evidence in connection to the case, felony A child kidnapping and the C felony offense of Possession of Child Pornography.

Interesting, since last we heard from her, she was in denial and standing by her man.
