Angela M. Roberts filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against Benjamin M. Roberts in St. Charles County, Missouri, on April 13, 2026. The marriage, formalized on September 30, 2017, and registered in St. Charles County, had ended in separation on or about February 11, 2026. Both parties are residents of Missouri, have reached the age of majority, and are employed.
The filing asserts the marriage is irretrievably broken. No unemancipated children were born to the parties, and Petitioner is not pregnant. Neither party serves in the Armed Forces. Temporary maintenance is requested for the Respondent according to the parties’ agreement.
The petition enumerates property considerations. Each party retains non-marital assets in their possession. Marital property and debts accumulated during the marriage are to be divided equitably, either pursuant to an executed Marital Settlement Agreement or, if none exists, by court determination.
The document concludes with formal requests for dissolution, maintenance awards, confirmation of non-marital property, approval or equitable division of marital assets and debts, and any other relief the court deems appropriate. Verification under oath affirms the accuracy of the petition’s statements.
Viewed in context, the filing reflects the procedural translation of private arrangements into judicial structure. It marks the formal point at which obligations, rights, and responsibilities are codified. The court’s role provides closure and clarity, establishing a framework within which both parties may adjust and move forward with defined legal boundaries.
