The paperwork is spare and declarative. In the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Kim Thompson has asked that her marriage to Antoine Thompson be dissolved, a petition filed February 3, 2026, and assigned cause number 26SL-DR00464.
Kim states that she has been a resident of Missouri for more than ninety days preceding the filing and currently resides in St. Louis County. Antoine, she asserts, has likewise met the state’s residency requirement and resides at the same address. The petition lists their social security numbers and records that they were married on May 24, 2025, in St. Louis County, Missouri. They separated on or about December 24, 2025.
No children were born of the marriage, and the petition affirms that Kim is not now pregnant. It further states that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved and that it is irretrievably broken. Neither party is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States.
Kim identifies certain items as her separate property and acknowledges that marital property and obligations were accumulated during the marriage, asking the court to divide both in a fair and equitable manner. She states that she is without funds or assets to support herself and seeks maintenance from Antoine, along with attorney’s fees and court costs. The petition describes Antoine as capable of providing support and contributing to the costs of the action.
Filed in early February, the case enters a court system accustomed to marking the ends of brief unions as well as long ones. The dates set out in the petition—marriage in May, separation in December, filing in February—trace a short span of time. What follows will be measured not by sentiment but by orders and judgments, as the court determines how the law closes what the parties once opened.
