Danielle M. Winkler has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Benjamin Winkler, marking the beginning of a legal battle over their future. Filed on September 23, 2024, in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Danielle’s petition asserts that the marriage, which began in November 2017, is irretrievably broken. Both parties continue to reside at the same address in Chesterfield, Missouri, though they no longer cohabit as husband and wife.
While Danielle is employed, Benjamin is currently unemployed. They share minor children, though no specific details about custody agreements or property distribution have been settled. Danielle’s attorney, Ann Vatterott Bruntrager of Bardol Law Firm, LLC, argues for joint legal and physical custody, urging the court to determine fair child support and divide marital assets appropriately.
Both parties have waived the need for spousal maintenance, as each is capable of supporting themselves. However, Danielle has requested that Benjamin be responsible for her legal fees. The petition leaves the ultimate distribution of their shared property and any future custody arrangements in the hands of the court.
