In the quiet suburbs of O’Fallon, Missouri, the once-shared life of Catherine G. Asher and Hobart L. Asher, who resides in Foley, Missouri, faces an inevitable dissolution. Filed on September 13, 2023, this legal maneuver signals the end of a union that began on May 15, 2000. Absent is the pitter-patter of unemancipated children, and neither party claims to be in need of maintenance.

In the midst of this transition, Catherine, a resident of O’Fallon, Missouri seeks the Court’s endorsement for the division of non-marital assets, a declaration that no maintenance be granted to either party, and approval of any Marital Settlement Agreement that may emerge. Alternatively, if no such agreement is reached, the petition calls for a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts.

Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law stands as Catherine’s legal guide through this challenging journey.  Linnenbringer’s firm takes on the responsibility of advocating for Catherine’s desired outcomes.

The filing carefully avoids pointing fingers, asserting only that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” As the legal proceedings unfold in St. Charles County, Missouri, the echoes of a once-shared life fade into the annals of history.
