In the days leading up to January’s end, Collin D. McCabe filed for the dissolution of his marriage to Telika B. McCabe on January 15, 2026, in St. Louis City, Missouri. The couple, wed in 2020, had already separated just five days prior, on January 10, 2026, an abrupt end to a brief union. With no children to complicate matters, the division of property and assets becomes the central issue. Both parties, while financially independent, stand in need of no maintenance from each other, the division of their shared assets and debts being their primary concern.

Represented by Henry M. Miller of Grant, Miller & Smith, LLC, Collin seeks a straightforward dissolution of the marriage, asking the court to divide the marital property fairly and equitably. Additionally, Collin requests that the court award him his separate property and order that neither party be required to pay maintenance to the other. Each party is also expected to pay their own attorney’s fees.

In this cold month of January, with a marriage that is beyond repair, Collin’s petition serves as both a formal end and a quiet plea for the closure of a chapter marked by brief hope and quick disillusionment. The court’s role now is to provide a final reckoning of the material and emotional costs of what once was.
