It was on March 4, 2025, that Fengyan Yu turned to the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, with a petition to formally bring an end to her marriage to Yong Liang Li. The couple, bound in matrimony since December 8, 2010, had long passed the point of reconciliation, Yu asserted. A separation that had begun on September 15, 2022, had only solidified what she now described as an irretrievably broken marriage.

Yu, represented by attorney Yi Sun of Yi Sun & Associates, LLC, cited the absence of any hope for the preservation of their union. The petition laid out the foundations of their marital dissolution: two children born of their relationship, the existence of shared property and debts, and an already executed marital settlement agreement governing their division. Custody arrangements had likewise been detailed in an accompanying parenting plan.

Neither party, the documents noted, was currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, nor was Yu pregnant at the time of filing. The legal framework, it seemed, was in place for what appeared to be an orderly and structured dissolution. The case now rests in the hands of the court, which will decide the final terms of the split—one that Yu has formally requested be recognized through a decree of dissolution, bringing a definitive close to over fourteen years of marriage.
