In a filing submitted on September 25, 2023, Abigail Arnette has formally initiated divorce proceedings against her spouse, Michael Arnette, following their marriage on May 4, 2019, in St. Louis City, Missouri. The couple shares two minor children, although their ages remain unspecified in the provided text.

While the specific reasons for the dissolution of their marriage are not disclosed, it is emphasized that there is “no reasonable likelihood” of preserving the union, characterizing it as “irretrievably broken.”

Abigail Arnette’s petition to the court includes several key requests. Firstly, she seeks the dissolution of their marriage. Secondly, she calls for an equitable division of marital property and indebtedness, though the precise division is not outlined in the document. Additionally, Abigail seeks the allocation of separate property to the appropriate party.

Notably, Abigail and Michael Arnette are in agreement regarding the custody of their minor children. They jointly propose that the court award them joint legal and joint physical custody in accordance with Abigail’s proposed Parenting Plan, to be filed with the court. Child support, retroactive to the date of filing, is also requested from Michael Arnette.

Jordan A. Poole from Carmody MacDonald P.C. is representing Abigail in these proceedings. While the petition does not explicitly mention requests for parental decision-making or maintenance, it underscores the couple’s commitment to ensuring the best interests and welfare of their children, setting the stage for a collaborative approach to their divorce in the legal landscape of St. Louis City.
