In a recent filing from Weldon Springs, Missouri, Patrick J. Lau seeks the dissolution of his marriage to Anna L. Lau. The petition, filed on October 18, 2023, cites irreconcilable differences as the grounds for the marital dissolution, with no specific blame attributed. The couple, wedded on February 22, 2014, do not have any unemancipated children. Both parties have maintained separate residences in Weldon Springs. Notably, neither party is requesting maintenance, suggesting a desire for a clean break.
The petitioner’s prayers include the dissolution of the marriage and a request that no maintenance be awarded to either party. Furthermore, each party’s non-marital assets are to be reserved for their respective owners. Additionally, the petitioner seeks approval of any Marital Settlement Agreement or, in the absence of such an agreement, a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts by the court. The petition, filed in St. Charles County, emphasizes the couple’s mutual desire for an amicable separation.
Gerald W. Linnenbringer from Linnenbringer Law represents the petitioner in this case. The petition emphasizes the desire for an equitable division of assets, as both parties possess separate property. The filing underlines a mutual aim for an amicable separation, as they consider their marriage irretrievably broken.
