Dawn Robinson has formally petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage to Bobby Lee Robinson III, filing the case on September 19, 2024, in St. Louis City, Missouri. Married since May 5, 2006, their union has been effectively over since they separated on July 31, 2019. Citing that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope of preservation, Dawn, represented by Ben Aranda of The Aranda Law Firm, seeks the court’s intervention in formally ending their relationship.
Central to the petition is her request for sole legal and physical custody of their minor children, supported by an argument that Missouri, the children’s home state, is the most appropriate jurisdiction for determining custody. She further asks the court to award child support, based on both parties’ abilities to provide for the children, in accordance with Missouri’s Rule 88.01.
Dawn also requests a fair division of their marital and separate property, while emphasizing that neither she nor Bobby Lee should be awarded spousal maintenance. Both parties will be responsible for their legal fees, and Dawn asks that the court assess the costs of the action from the deposits made.
The petition closes with a straightforward request: a swift and clear dissolution of a marriage that has, for all practical purposes, been nonfunctional for several years, with a focus on securing the best interests of their children.
