The story of William S. Gailey IV and Karen R. Gailey, whose marriage once began with promise, now finds itself at a crossroads in the halls of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Missouri. William, a resident of St. Charles County for the past 15 years, has petitioned for the dissolution of their union, citing an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Represented by Timothy A. Lohmar, William outlines the irreconcilable differences that have led to this point. The couple, married on September 6, 1999, in O’Fallon, Missouri, and parents to two unemancipated children, have been separated since May 15, 2024.
The petition details the couple’s residency in Missouri, their employment, and the fact that both are over 18 and not in military service. It emphasizes that no arrangements have been made for custody or support of the children, necessitating a proposed parenting plan where joint legal and physical custody is suggested, with William’s residence as the primary home for educational purposes. The petition further requests a fair division of marital property and debts, setting aside William’s separate property, and calls for both parties to support their children financially. This legal plea encapsulates the end of a long journey, seeking a fair resolution while underscoring the necessity of moving forward for the sake of the children.
