Behind the careful recitation of dates and addresses lies the story of a marriage that could no longer endure. Robert M. Graeff, through his attorneys J. M. Capshaw, Brittany A. Brown, and Jordan A. Poole of Carmody MacDonald P.C., has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against Shanna L. Graeff in the Family Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, with the filing date recorded as December 1, 2025.
The union, solemnized on April 26, 2013, has yielded two minor children, whose welfare now forms the central focus of the proceedings. Both parties have been Missouri residents for years and are gainfully employed, yet the petition underscores that their relationship is irretrievably broken. They separated on October 1, 2022, leaving unresolved questions regarding property, debt, and the children’s custodial arrangements.
Mr. Graeff seeks a comprehensive resolution: a fair and equitable division of marital assets and debts, confirmation of each party’s separate property, and joint legal and physical custody of the children under a Parenting Plan to be filed with the court. The petition also requests any additional relief deemed just and proper by the court. Notably, the filing asserts there are no other proceedings affecting custody or visitation and confirms that neither party is currently serving in the armed forces.
In the petition, Mr. Graeff emphasizes that the children’s interests are best served by shared custodial responsibility, a structured parenting plan, and a clear legal framework to resolve lingering financial and property matters. This filing marks a definitive legal step in the unraveling of a decade-long marriage, presenting the court with a roadmap for closure and equitable resolution.
