Margaret Ann Simmons filed for dissolution of her marriage to George D. Jost on April 25, 2025, in St. Louis County, Missouri. The couple had married on March 4, 1994, in Kings County, New York, and had been together for over 31 years before their separation on July 1, 2017. With no children from the marriage and no pending maintenance claims, Simmons’s petition focuses on a fair division of their accumulated property.
In her petition, Simmons requested that the Court dissolve the marriage, declare it irretrievably broken, and ensure that each party’s separate property remains with them. Both parties were deemed capable of supporting themselves and therefore requested no spousal maintenance or attorney’s fees. Represented by Ann E. Bauer and Courtney A. Green of the Center for Family Law, Simmons’s legal team aimed for an equitable resolution of their shared assets.
As Simmons moved to formally end the marriage, she sought to sever the ties of a long-standing relationship that had deteriorated over the years. Despite efforts to reconcile, the marriage had reached its breaking point, and this filing marked a new chapter in her life.
