In the hushed lanes of St. Louis County, Missouri, where the ordinary hum of life masks deeper fractures, a marriage’s end took shape on February 28, 2025. Charles Louis Bryant filed for divorce from Jill Elizabeth Bryant in the Circuit Court, a move as deliberate as the prenuptial pact they’d signed years back. With David O. Kreuter of Kreuter & Gordon, P.C., at his side, Charles aimed to close a chapter opened October 14, 2015—a span of over nine years that unraveled by January 18, 2025, leaving no children in its wake.
Charles, rooted in Creve Coeur, and Jill, settled in Collinsville, had each logged more than ninety days in Missouri’s bounds. He earned his keep; she worked at Kennedy Capital Management, Inc. No military duty shadowed them—just the civilian heft of property, some separate, some shared, now due for an equitable cut per their old terms. The petition spoke plainly of irretrievable brokenness, a truth as unadorned as their empty home. Jill sought her maiden name, Laswell, a step back to a prior self.
This was no loud collapse but a meticulous unwinding, filed as Valentine’s Day slipped away—a man sifting through a near-decade’s remnants, claiming only his due.
