The formal language of a Missouri court filing records a marriage now moving toward its end. In the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, Scott Kloeppel has submitted a petition seeking the dissolution of his marriage to Lindsey Kloeppel. The request entered the court record on March 3, 2026.

According to the petition, both Scott and Lindsey Kloeppel have lived in Missouri for more than ninety days prior to the filing and share an address in Wentzville, Missouri. Their marriage took place June 12, 2013, and was registered in St. Louis County. The document notes that the couple has not physically separated.

Despite that circumstance, the filing states there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved and describes it as irretrievably broken. The petition further confirms that neither party is serving in the armed forces and that, to the petitioner’s knowledge, the respondent is not pregnant.

The case also addresses family and financial matters that the court must eventually resolve. The petitioner asks that the parties be granted joint legal and joint physical custody of their children, with Scott Kloeppel designated as the parent for mailing and educational purposes. The filing also seeks an equitable division of marital property and debts, while setting apart any separate property belonging to the petitioner.

Petitions of this kind mark the start of a structured legal process rather than its conclusion. The March 3 filing places the matter within the court’s formal timetable, where issues of custody, property, and final judgment will proceed through established procedures designed to close the legal chapter of a marriage.
