In a recent legal filing made on October 2, 2023, a marriage that began on May 19, 2023, between Anthony M. Cross and Shindell P. Cross is now facing an uncertain future. The petition for dissolution of marriage, filed in St. Louis County, Missouri, cites the relationship as “irretrievably broken,” emphasizing the impossibility of preserving it.

The filing reveals that the couple had no children during their brief marriage, eliminating any child custody or support issues. Neither party is requesting maintenance, with both stating that they are currently employed and self-sufficient.

Attorney Karma Q. Edwards from Karma Q. Edwards Law Firm represents the petitioner, Anthony M. Cross. The petitioner has requested the court to hear and determine the cause, declare the marriage irretrievably broken, and enter an Order and Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage.

While the text mentions marital and separate property, along with certain marital debts, it doesn’t provide specific details about these matters or the desired resolutions. However, this legal development signifies the end of a short-lived marital journey between the two parties, with the court tasked to navigate the complexities of their marital assets and debts as they seek to part ways amicably.
