In the soft unraveling of what once seemed certain, Kathryn C. Vollmerhausen has petitioned the Family Court of St. Charles County, Missouri, to end her marriage to Justin C. Vollmerhausen, filing her Petition for Dissolution of Marriage on October 23, 2025. What began as a union bound in April 2023 in Arapahoe County, Colorado, has since given way to quiet distance — the kind that begins with small silences and ends with separate addresses. Kathryn, now residing in St. Peters, Missouri, and Justin, living in Aurora, Colorado, have been apart since April 15, 2025.

No children were born of the marriage, and both have acknowledged their independence — financially, personally, perhaps even emotionally. Kathryn, represented by Attorney Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, asked the court to dissolve the marriage without maintenance, to allow each to retain their own non-marital property, and to divide whatever remains of their shared possessions with fairness and clarity.

There is mention, too, of a possible Marital Settlement Agreement, one that may already mark their private negotiations. If not, Kathryn asks that the court ensure the balance of equity — that what they once built together might now be undone with dignity. Her petition closes with an assertion both firm and final: that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and no thread of hope remains to stitch it whole again. It is, in the end, a quiet plea — not for recompense, but for release.
