A petition now before the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, Missouri lays out, in the spare language typical of such filings, the end of a marriage that began a few years earlier. Amanda Green has asked the court to dissolve her marriage to Nermin Okanovic, a case formally entered into the record on March 5, 2026.

The document states that both Green and Okanovic have lived in Missouri for more than the required ninety days prior to filing and currently reside in St. Charles County. Their marriage took place on September 25, 2020, and was registered there as well. The petition states there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved, and therefore it is described as irretrievably broken.

The filing confirms that the petitioner is not pregnant and that neither party is a member of the United States Armed Forces on active duty. It also states that, at the time the petition was filed, the parties share joint physical custody of their minor children. According to the document, no parenting plan agreement has yet been finalized, though the petitioner indicates a proposed plan will be submitted later.

Green asks the court to award the parties joint legal and joint physical custody and to order child support in accordance with Missouri rules. The petition also requests that the court divide marital property and debts and set apart any separate property belonging to each party. Both parties, the filing states, are able to support themselves and neither seeks maintenance.

Cases like this proceed methodically once filed: records are reviewed, proposals are submitted, and decisions are eventually formalized by the court. The March 5 filing marks the administrative starting point of that process, where a private arrangement between two people moves into a structured legal framework intended to resolve property, support, and custody under Missouri law.
