A petition now before the Family Court of St. Charles County sets out the end of a marriage that began in the autumn of 2022. Gorge Jara has asked the court to dissolve his marriage to Emily Blakemore, a union registered in St. Charles County and, according to the filing, no longer capable of preservation. The affidavit accompanying the petition was sworn in 2026.
The document states that the petitioner has been a resident of Missouri for more than ninety days preceding the commencement of the proceeding and currently resides in Lake Saint Louis. The respondent, also a Missouri resident for the required period, resides in O’Fallon. Both parties are over 18. They were married on October 28, 2022, and separated on or about March 1, 2025.
No unemancipated children were born or adopted during the marriage, and the respondent is not pregnant. The petition affirms that neither party is on active duty with the Armed Forces. It further states that both are able-bodied and capable of meeting their own needs, and that neither seeks maintenance.
Property and debt are addressed in measured terms. Each party is described as possessing separate property and non-marital assets. The petitioner asks the court to approve any Marital Settlement Agreement reached by the parties, or, if none is executed, to divide marital property and debts in a fair and equitable manner. Filed in February 2026, as court calendars move steadily through early-year dockets, the case enters a process designed to formalize resolution—translating a private decision, set down in affidavits and pleadings, into a public decree under Missouri law.
