In the quiet folds of suburban Missouri, a marriage once rooted in the promises of April 1998 now seeks its end under the sterile lighting of a courtroom. On June 4, 2025, Robert V. Rabinowitz II filed a petition in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri, in St. Charles County, to dissolve his union with Dolores A. Rabinowitz. Represented by Matthew J. Frawley of Boehmer Law, LLC, Robert’s petition lays bare the disintegration of a life once shared.
They were married in Independence and lived the better part of their lives under the same roof in St. Charles County. But since May of 2021, that roof has no longer been shared—separation becoming routine, silence replacing conversation. Their sons, Robert III and Ryan, are grown now, their emancipation underlining that this marriage’s foundation no longer bears the weight of family obligations.
There is no plea for maintenance. No dispute over parenting plans. Only the division of what remains: property, debts, and attorney’s fees. Robert states that he cannot carry the cost of litigation alone and asks that Dolores, capable and employed, shoulder that burden.
This is not the fallout of a sudden rupture. This is the slow, almost invisible unraveling that quietly overtakes long marriages—a drift too wide to bridge. It is finality sought not with bitterness, but with weary clarity.
