On July 5, 2024, Kristi Zoref filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Bradley Zoref in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Family Court Division, in St. Charles County, Missouri. The petition, submitted by her attorney Mayra Flesner of Flesner Wentzel, paints a picture of a marriage that has become irretrievably broken due to irreconcilable differences and marital misconduct. Kristi and Bradley, both residents of St. Charles County, have been married since September 27, 2014, and have two children, aged seven and five. The couple has been constructively separated since March 1, 2024.

The petition emphasizes that it is in the best interest of the children for Kristi to have sole legal and physical custody, with Bradley receiving visitation rights as detailed in the proposed parenting plan. Both parties are financially independent and do not require maintenance from each other. However, Kristi seeks child support from Bradley and requests that he cover her attorney’s fees and litigation costs.

Kristi outlines that the division of marital property and debts should be equitable, while each party retains their non-marital property. This case highlights the complexities of ending a marriage that has spanned nearly a decade, with the court tasked with ensuring a fair resolution for both parties and, most importantly, their children.
