Jared Ott has officially filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Alexus Delotelle in the Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Missouri, on September 10, 2024. Represented by Neil Smith of The Smith Law Firm, LLC, Ott cites irreconcilable differences as the cause of an irretrievable breakdown in their marriage. The couple, married on October 29, 2021, in Madison County, Illinois, separated on February 22, 2024, after less than three years together.
Ott, a resident of St. Louis, Missouri, seeks joint legal custody of their minor child, while proposing that Delotelle, currently residing in Macoupin County, Illinois, be granted sole physical custody, with visitation rights for him. The filing states that neither party seeks spousal maintenance, as both are capable of supporting themselves.
Smith’s petition details an equitable division of the couple’s marital assets and debts, and each party’s nonmarital property will remain separate. Ott assures the court that no other legal proceedings, including those involving the custody of their child, are currently pending. The petition, filed by Neil Smith, marks the beginning of the legal process to dissolve a brief marriage, with both parties seeking an equitable and efficient conclusion to their union.
