In the warm spring dusk of April 18, 2025, Jeffrey D. Winer took a pen to parchment and declared, under oath and solemn reason, that his marriage to Monica Rodgers had come to its natural end. What began with vows exchanged on June 24, 2022, in St. Louis City, Missouri, lasted barely more than two fleeting summers before silence grew longer than conversation, and separation followed on August 15, 2024.
Both are residents of St. Louis City—Jeffrey and Monica now living apart after their separation in mid-August 2024. Their paths diverge without the weight of children or the anticipation of any. Neither party seeks support from the other, and both are described as able-bodied and gainfully employed—capable, at least in this regard, of weathering what comes next.
Jeffrey, through his attorney Mitchell D. Jacobs of 918 N. McKnight Road, has asked the court to dissolve the union on the grounds that it is irretrievably broken. Should the couple reach agreement over the division of property and debts, he requests its approval. If not, he seeks the court’s hand to cut fairly.
And thus, a marriage short in years but not without consequence, moves to the courthouse ledger—etched in time and testimony, awaiting its final gavel.
