In the quiet corridors of the St. Louis County Courthouse, a new chapter begins for Rachel Gilmore and Robert Strub, a couple whose union, once filled with promise, now faces an inevitable conclusion. The petition for dissolution of marriage, filed by Rachel on August 5, 2024, paints a picture of a relationship that, over time, has fractured beyond repair. Married on a crisp October day in 2019, their journey from joy to sorrow spans almost five years, marked by a separation that occurred nearly three years ago in August 2021.
The couple’s two children, who have been caught in the middle of this dissolution, now face a future where joint custody will be the new normal. Rachel seeks the court’s intervention to equitably divide their marital assets and debts, while also requesting that her non-marital property be set aside. As the legal wheels turn, Spirn Family Law, led by attorneys Michelle J. Spirn, Alexandra D. Noll, and Julia R. Dillow, stands in Rachel’s corner, guiding her through the legal labyrinth. With the formalities now in motion, the court is asked to declare the marriage irretrievably broken, a stark reminder of the finality that comes with such decisions.
