In a petition filed on May 12, 2025, before the Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Eric Kong seeks the dissolution of his marriage to Cindy Le, ending a union that began in June 5, 1998. Represented by Brian H. Langley of Langley Law Firm, LLC, Kong outlines the irretrievable breakdown of their relationship after a separation that commenced around 2010. The couple shares no children, and neither party is expecting.
The petition paints a picture of two adults, both capable of employment and self-support, who have accumulated marital assets and debts over the course of nearly twelve years together. Neither seeks maintenance from the other, signaling a financial independence that underscores the finality of their parting. Each claims separate non-marital property, while jointly owned assets await equitable division.
There is no expectation of reconciliation. The marriage, once rooted in hope, has been declared beyond repair, with the petitioner urging the court to formally dissolve it and oversee a fair distribution of property. Both parties, now firmly separate in their lives and prospects, look to close this chapter without further dispute or support obligations.
Kong’s counsel, Brian Langley, advances the request that the court affirm the marriage’s breakdown and issue all necessary orders to effect the dissolution with fairness and finality.
