In a significant development in St. Charles County, Missouri, a dissolution of marriage petition was filed on December 5, 2023, by Jaclyn Renee Tilden against her spouse, Jason Ryan Tilden. The couple, who entered into marriage on July 9, 2005, attributed the dissolution to irreconcilable differences, stating, “It is in the best interests of the parties’ minor children that Wife and Husband share joint legal and joint physical custody of the minor children, with Wife’s residence designated as the residence of the minor children for mailing and educational purposes.”

The filing, free of blame allocation, outlined Jaclyn’s prayers, encompassing dissolution of the marriage, equitable division of marital property and debt, joint legal and physical custody of the minor children, child support, attorney’s fees, and additional relief deemed just by the court. The legal representation for Jaclyn is led by Daniel J. McNamee from King & McNamee, LLC.

Notably, the petitioner is seeking child support retroactively from the date of the filing to assist in the support of the unnamed minor children. The document highlights the couple’s accumulated assets and debts during their marriage, with Jaclyn requesting an equitable distribution and division of both marital property and debts. The mention of nonmarital property emphasizes Jaclyn’s request for its separate allocation to each party.
