In the labyrinthine halls of the St. Louis County Circuit Court, a poignant narrative unfolds. On July 1, 2024, Catherine Kruse, with the guidance of Moss Pociask, LLC, lodged her petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Michael DiBernardo. The union, solemnized on September 3, 2016, in the heart of St. Louis City, has reached a critical impasse. While they remain under the same roof, the couple has been living in a state of constructive separation since April 23, 2024.
Both Catherine and Michael have been residents of St. Louis County for over ninety days preceding the filing. Each is employed and possesses separate property. The couple, however, has amassed marital assets and obligations over the course of their marriage. Despite the absence of children from their union, the chasm between them has grown irreparable. The petition underscores the impossibility of preserving their marriage, declaring it irretrievably broken.
In a bid for closure and new beginnings, Catherine seeks a fair division of their marital property and debts, along with the retention of her separate assets. Her plea to the court is a cry for justice and equity, as she navigates the dissolution of a partnership once full of promise but now marred by disillusionment and separation.
