Jennifer Elizabeth Landt has turned to the courts to end her marriage to Gray Landt, filing a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County on September 24, 2025. Represented by attorney Jordan Grace McDermott of Marler Law Partners, Jennifer described a union that began on October 31, 2019, in Wentzville, Missouri, but which—despite sharing the same home—fractured emotionally by August 1, 2025.
In her petition, Jennifer asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that reconciliation is no longer possible. While the couple accumulated property and debts during their nearly six years together, they have not reached any settlement on how to divide them. Both spouses are employed and self-sufficient, and neither is seeking spousal maintenance.
The petition’s most urgent aspect concerns their two minor children, both born before the marriage. Jennifer seeks sole physical and sole legal custody, alleging that Gray’s threatening behavior and poor communication have made cooperative decision-making impossible. She asks the court to grant her primary custody while allowing Gray visitation and parenting time as outlined in her proposed parenting plan. She further requests that Gray contribute child support retroactive to the filing date.
McDermott’s filing underscores the emotional distance between the parties, framing the request as a necessary step to safeguard the children’s stability. The case now moves forward in St. Charles County’s Family Court Division.
