In a quiet corner of St. Charles County, Craig Preuss has made the difficult decision to end his marriage to Alexis Preuss. The couple, who wed on September 18, 2021, had drifted apart, culminating in their separation on August 16, 2024. Now, nearly three months later, Craig is seeking a dissolution of their marriage, filing his petition on November 20, 2024, with the support of Shonte’ Byrd from Stange Law Firm, P.C.

Craig’s petition is clear: the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no chance of reconciliation. He asks the court to divide the marital property fairly, ensuring that each party retains their separate, non-marital assets. Both parties, according to the petition, are self-sufficient and capable of supporting themselves, and neither party is seeking maintenance or attorney fees from the other.

The absence of children from the marriage simplifies matters, but the couple’s accumulated property and obligations still require careful division. Craig hopes the court will consider any potential separation agreement, should one be presented, and ensure that it is fair and just. He is resolute in his request for a clean break—no lingering ties, no undue burdens on either side.

As the case unfolds, the court will be tasked with navigating the intricacies of the couple’s shared financial responsibilities and finalizing the dissolution of a marriage that has reached its inevitable end. Craig’s request is simple: to move forward with dignity and fairness.
