In the Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Missouri, David A. Vega Fuentes has initiated a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Kaitlyn A. Lyerla, filed on September 18, 2024. The couple, who wed on May 16, 2021, has been separated since April 4, 2024, with no minor children born of the marriage. The marriage is described as irretrievably broken, with both parties having resided in the same St. Louis address for over ninety days prior to the filing.

Petitioner David, currently unemployed, cites the irreconcilable nature of their differences, asserting that there is no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation. Meanwhile, Kaitlyn, who is employed and capable of supporting herself, has no immediate financial need for spousal support. David’s attorney, Keith Fuller of Stange Law Firm, has requested that the court ensure an equitable division of their separate property, while also holding Kaitlyn responsible for David’s attorney fees and court costs incurred during this process.

The petition illustrates the complexities of their situation, including the distribution of marital debts and the need for the court to adjudicate the dissolution formally. David seeks a decree that reflects a fair allocation of their personal and marital assets, affirming the definitive end of their short-lived union.
