Phillip T. Carter submitted a petition in the St. Charles County Family Court seeking dissolution of his marriage to Keirsten N. Carter. The petition, filed in April 1, 2026, traces the formal beginnings of their union to August 15, 2022, in St. Louis County, Missouri, and notes a separation occurring on or about March 19, 2025. The filing states plainly that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that no reconciliation is considered feasible.
The petition outlines property holdings with clarity: both parties maintain non-marital assets, and each is in possession of personal property identified as separate. Marital property accumulated during the marriage, along with any associated obligations, is requested to be divided equitably, either under an existing Marital Settlement Agreement or, in its absence, through the court’s determination of fairness. Maintenance is explicitly waived, with both parties deemed capable of providing for themselves.
Verification accompanies the filing, attesting that the statements are true to the petitioner’s knowledge, information, and belief, executed under oath before a notary public. The procedural precision reflects the systematic approach of the court in resolving domestic matters with fairness and accountability.
The petition situates itself within the legal cadence of dissolution: a formal recognition of the marriage’s end, accompanied by an orderly framework for the distribution of assets and resolution of obligations. It is a record of transition, documenting responsibilities and establishing closure in a measured, procedural manner.
