As the calendar turns to a new year, Nadiia Petrenko takes a bold step into the unknown, filing for divorce from Eugene Reyzin in St. Louis County, Missouri, on January 8, 2025. Their marriage, which began on April 23, 2014, in Buffalo, New York, has reached an impasse—one that neither could foresee when they exchanged vows nearly a decade ago. Despite still residing under the same roof, they have maintained a constructive separation since September 15, 2023, signaling a profound shift in their relationship.

Nadiia, a self-employed individual residing in St. Louis County for over three years, seeks to dissolve a union that she now believes is irretrievably broken. The couple shares no children, and the absence of dependents makes the dissolution process somewhat less complicated, yet the emotional weight remains heavy. Both parties have reached an agreement regarding the division of their property and debts, a necessary step as they navigate the end of their marital journey.

Represented by attorney Michael P. Cohan of The Cohan Law Firm, Nadiia’s petition emphasizes her desire for an equitable distribution of their assets, while also stipulating that neither party will seek maintenance. As the world observes this fresh start, Nadiia and Eugene confront the complexities of closure, symbolizing both an ending and the tentative beginnings of new lives
