In the corridors of St. Charles County’s Family Court, Tracy L. Coffman has filed a petition to dissolve her marriage to John E. Coffman on June 28, 2024. The couple separated on March 17, 2023, due to irreconcilable differences, leading to an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. Both parties, residents of Missouri, are gainfully employed and assert no need for spousal maintenance. Tracy, represented by Winghaven Law under attorney Wendy J. Corley, seeks joint legal custody but sole physical custody of their minor child, with her residence designated for the child’s mailing and educational purposes.

The petition outlines the absence of any arrangements for spousal support or child maintenance and underscores the breakdown of the marital bond. Tracy requests a reasonable sum of child support and an equitable division of marital property and debts. The petition also highlights that both parties have separate non-marital assets which should be set aside accordingly.

Tracy, unable to cover her legal fees, seeks reimbursement from John, who is financially capable. The petition emphasizes the need for a just resolution, with Tracy’s proposed parenting plan filed alongside, aiming for a fair and equitable dissolution of the marriage.
