February, the month of love, has taken a different turn for Timothy Patrick Larkin. On February 5, 2025, he filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, seeking to end his nearly seven-year marriage to Alison Kish Larkin. In the filing, Larkin, represented by Christopher Karlen of Growe Eisen Karlen Eilerts, asserts that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” with no chance of reconciliation.
Despite still sharing the same marital residence in Kirkwood, Missouri, the couple appears to be on separate paths. The petition outlines their shared parental responsibilities for two unemancipated children but does not specify any prior custody arrangements. Larkin is requesting joint legal and physical custody, as well as an equitable division of marital property. He also asks the court to set aside his separate, non-marital property and establish child support in accordance with Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01.
The filing does not indicate any immediate disputes over assets or custody, yet its timing—just days before Valentine’s Day—underscores the contrast between love’s ideal and its legal unraveling. The court will now determine the future course of this marriage’s dissolution, weighing the terms of custody, property, and financial obligations in the coming proceedings.
