A marriage that lasted just weeks is now the subject of a dissolution petition in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri, Family Court Division. Gary Null III has asked the court to dissolve his marriage to Muskah Mahjub, describing the relationship as irretrievably broken. The petition was filed on February 16, 2026.
According to the filing, the petitioner has been a Missouri resident for more than ninety days preceding the action and resides in St. Charles. The respondent is listed as residing in Watford, England. The couple married on December 18, 2025, in St. Charles County, where the marriage was registered.
The petition states that shortly after the wedding, the respondent left the petitioner and returned to her home country on January 4, 2026, the date identified as their separation. No children were born of the marriage, and the respondent is not pregnant. Neither party is a member of the Armed Forces.
Citing the brief duration of the marriage, the petitioner asserts that no marital property was accumulated and that he retains certain items as his separate property. He asks the court to dissolve the marriage and set aside his separate property to him. Filed in mid-February, the case moves swiftly into the court’s docket, reflecting how Missouri law addresses even the shortest unions with the same procedural clarity applied to longer marriages—requiring residency, acknowledgment of property, and a judicial finding before the record is closed.
