In a tale shadowed by the weight of broken promises and irreversible decisions, Cynthia K. Small stands resolute as she files for dissolution of her marriage to Theodore E. Herman on October 10, 2025. Their union, forged on August 12, 2024, in the heart of St. Louis County, has been marred by irreconcilable differences that led to their separation on July 24, 2025.
Cynthia, a resident of Chesterfield for three years, now faces the stark reality of a life unmoored. There are no children to complicate the matter, no lingering ties to anchor them. The couple, both able-bodied and capable of supporting themselves, have agreed there’s no need for maintenance—just a clear path forward, unmarred by the weights of their past.
With the aid of Jonathan D. Marks from The Marks Law Firm, Cynthia seeks not only the legal end of their marriage but also the enforcement of their prenuptial agreement, which promises a fair division of their separate property and debts. The court is called to navigate this emotional terrain, ensuring both parties emerge with what is rightfully theirs. In this landscape of dissolution, Cynthia stands ready, poised to reclaim her narrative and carve out a future free from the shadows of yesterday.
