It was March 7, 2025, when Kayla Marie Lohman walked into the St. Charles County courthouse, petition in hand, looking to put an official end to a marriage that had, by her account, already unraveled. She and Jessica Marie Lohman had tied the knot in April 2019, a Florida-registered marriage now teetering on the edge of legal dissolution. The official reason? The marriage was “irretrievably broken,” a term as dry as it was absolute.

Kayla, represented by attorney Stephen R. Fleddermann of Fleddermann Law Office, detailed in her filing that she and Jessica had been constructively separated since February 26, 2025. She sought joint legal and joint physical custody of their minor child, asking the court to designate her as the residential parent for mailing and school purposes. Financial matters loomed large—child support, a fair split of marital debts, and an equitable division of assets were all on the table.

No military service. No pregnancies. No possibility of salvaging the marriage, at least in Kayla’s eyes. The gears of the legal machine had begun to turn, and soon, a judge in St. Charles County would be left to untangle the remains of a six-year union that had run its course.
