In the quiet aftermath of a fractured marriage, Anne M. Sammon found herself standing at the threshold of change, her heart heavy with the weight of decisions long deferred. On September 8, 2025, she filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Matthew M. Sammon in St. Louis County, a legal act that would bring finality to a relationship that had begun on a hopeful note in May 2010. Their separation, which had lingered since November 1, 2024, now demanded clarity—a restructuring of their lives and the lives of their two minor children.

With the counsel of Brittany Brown from Carmody MacDonald P.C., Anne articulated the complexities of their shared existence, framed by an Antenuptial Agreement that outlined the contours of their separation. She sought joint legal custody while asserting her need for sole physical custody of the children, emphasizing their well-being as paramount amidst the dissolution. The marriage, she noted, was irretrievably broken, a reflection of the harsh realities that had crept in, eroding the foundation they had built together.

As she laid bare the fabric of their lives—marital property, debts, and the scars of marital misconduct—Anne prepared to reclaim her narrative. The petition was more than a legal document; it was a testament to resilience, a step towards a future where she could nurture her children in safety and security, away from the shadows of their shared past.
