The paperwork arrives not as a dramatic flourish but as a quiet assertion of fact. Filed January 7, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, the petition dissolving the marriage of Alivia Hall and Simon Boedecker reflects the difference between endings rushed and endings chosen. A filing in the last stretch of December 2025 might have read like an attempt to seal a year shut—an urgency shaped by calendars rather than conviction. Early January, by contrast, suggests resolve: the willingness to begin again only after naming what has already failed.
Hall and Boedecker married on August 3, 2022, in Jackson County, Illinois. Less than a year later, around June 1, 2023, they separated, the relationship no longer able to sustain itself. The petition describes a marriage now irretrievably broken. There are no children, no pregnancy, and no dispute over the capacity of either party to support themselves. Both are employed; neither seeks spousal maintenance. The tone is measured, stripped of grievance, concerned instead with clarity.
Property and debts accumulated during the marriage have already been addressed through a property settlement agreement in place at the time of filing. What remains for the court is confirmation: that marital property and marital debt be divided fairly and equitably if needed, and that non-marital property and non-marital debt be set aside to their respective owners. Each party asks to pay their own attorney’s fees, refusing to extend the cost of the marriage beyond its end.
Represented by attorney Jonathan K. Glassman of Glassman Divorce, LLC, Hall petitions the court to dissolve the marriage; divide marital property and marital debt fairly; set aside non-marital assets and obligations; order that neither party pay spousal maintenance; require each party to bear their own attorney’s fees; and grant any other relief deemed just and proper. Filed at the year’s opening, the petition frames divorce not as a retreat, but as an act of deliberate closure.
