Case number 2611-FC00211, filed in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, presents a structured account of a marriage now before the court for dissolution. The petition, verified and sworn on February 5, 2026, was brought by Tyris Martin against Robert Thayer, Sr.. It invokes Missouri’s statutory framework and asks the court to enter a judgment dissolving a union solemnized on August 10, 2013, and registered in St. Charles County.
The filing states that both parties have been residents of Missouri for more than 90 days preceding commencement of the action. It records a physical separation on April 21, 2021. Neither party, the petition affirms, is an active-duty member of the armed forces of the United States, and neither claims entitlement to protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Four children were born during the marriage. The petition represents that, during the 60 days immediately preceding the filing, the unemancipated children resided with the petitioner in St. Charles County. It further states that no other custody litigation is pending, and that the petitioner has no knowledge of any other person claiming custody or visitation rights. The petitioner seeks sole legal and sole physical custody, with supervised visitation for the respondent pursuant to a proposed parenting plan, along with child support calculated under Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01 and Form 14.
The petition also acknowledges the existence of marital property and debts, noting that no property settlement agreement had been executed as of filing. It requests an equitable division of marital assets and liabilities, the setting aside of separate property to each party, and an order that neither party pay maintenance or contribute to the other’s attorney’s fees. The marriage, it states, is irretrievably broken, with no reasonable likelihood of preservation.
A filing of this kind, submitted in the first weeks of February, is both procedural and consequential. It translates years of shared life into categories recognizable to the court: residence, separation, custody, support, property. What follows will unfold within the prescribed timetable of service, response, and adjudication. The petition does not anticipate that outcome; it defines the terms on which it will be decided.
