A marriage that began in 1992 is now the subject of a formal petition in the Family Court Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri. RHONDA J. KAYSINGER has asked the court to dissolve her marriage to WARREN E. KAYSINGER, invoking Missouri law’s framework for ending a union the petition describes as irretrievably broken.

The filing, dated February 9, 2026, states that both parties have been residents of Missouri for more than ninety days preceding the petition. They were married on November 21, 1992, in the City of St. Paul, Missouri, with the marriage registered in St. Charles County. The couple separated on November 20, 2024. The petition asserts that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved.

The document notes that neither party is on active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States and that there were no children born of the marriage. It also states that the petitioner is not pregnant at the time of filing. The parties are said to possess marital property and marital debt, as well as separate property. The petitioner requests that the court set apart each party’s separate property, equitably divide marital property, and apportion marital debt. She further asks the court to equitably apportion attorney’s fees and court costs.

In its concluding section, the petition seeks dissolution and any further relief the court deems just and proper. February filings such as this one reflect the structured way Missouri law addresses the end of long marriages: establishing residency, confirming separation, and assigning property and debt within statutory guidelines. The process does not revisit the decades that preceded it; it formalizes their legal conclusion.
