On August 26, 2024, in St. Charles County, Missouri, Marla M. Tackett officially filed a petition to dissolve her marriage with Kristopher D. Tackett, marking the end of an 18-year union that began on June 24, 2006. The couple, who share one unemancipated child, separated on July 1, 2024, and have since reached an agreement concerning custody, visitation, and child support, with the child remaining in Missouri, the jurisdictional home state.
According to the petition, both Marla and Kristopher have waived any claims for spousal maintenance, asserting their self-sufficiency. They also possess separate property, as well as jointly accumulated marital assets and debts, which Marla has requested be divided fairly by the court unless a Marital Settlement Agreement is executed. The petition, filed through attorney Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, underscores that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.
As the Tacketts’ story reaches the courtroom, the final dissolution of their marriage now lies in the hands of the court, which will determine the equitable distribution of their property and finalize the terms of their separation, allowing both parties to move forward with their lives.
