Colin J. Nute filed a petition in St. Charles County Circuit Court seeking the dissolution of his marriage to Alexandria M. Nute on February 3, 2026. The couple had been married on October 20, 2018, in Franklin County, Missouri, and separated on or about December 23, 2025. Both parties reside in St. Charles County, are over the age of eighteen, and maintain employment sufficient to support themselves independently.
The petition details the existence of two minor children from the marriage. For the ninety days prior to filing, the children have resided with Colin Nute, and no prior custody or visitation arrangements exist. He requests that both he and Alexandria exercise joint legal and physical custody, and seeks a determination of child support in an amount consistent with the needs of the children and applicable state guidelines.
Colin Nute notes the accumulation of marital assets and debts, alongside separate property held individually by each party. The petition requests that the court equitably divide marital property and debts, recognize each party’s separate property, and approve any marital settlement agreement if one is reached prior to the hearing. Additionally, he notes the occurrence of marital misconduct by the respondent as a factor the court may consider in property division.
The petition affirms that neither party requires maintenance from the other, and neither is on active duty with the armed forces. Colin Nute asserts that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved, and that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The filing is verified under oath and submitted through counsel at The Kers Law Firm, LLC.
This case situates itself within the procedural framework of family law, emphasizing structure, accountability, and the orderly resolution of financial and custodial responsibilities. It reflects the early-year adjustments many families formalize in February, codifying obligations and rights in anticipation of the months ahead.
