As couples around the country mark the season of love, Hollie Jolene Link has taken a different course. On February 5, 2025, she formally filed a petition in St. Louis County Circuit Court to dissolve her marriage to Jonathan Joseph Link, citing that their union is irretrievably broken. The couple, married since September 10, 2010, had been living apart since mid-January, a separation that seems to have signaled the final chapter of their nearly 15-year relationship.
Represented by Rachel S. Gray of Kallen Law Firm, LLC, Hollie Link is seeking a dissolution that acknowledges both parties’ ability to be self-sufficient—requesting that no maintenance be ordered. Additionally, she has petitioned for joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children, with her designated as the residential parent for educational and mailing purposes. She also seeks a fair division of marital property and debts, alongside the retention of her separate assets.
Though no allegations of misconduct are outlined in the petition, the filing underscores a decisive step toward a legal end to the marriage. With both parties residing in St. Louis County and no disputes over custody rights from external parties, the legal process may unfold without significant contention. Yet, in a month that traditionally celebrates romance, this case serves as a stark reminder that for some, February is about endings rather than new beginnings.
