A brief marriage, marked by an even briefer cohabitation, is now the subject of a dissolution petition in St. Charles County.

Samantha J. Seamon filed her petition for divorce on February 2, 2026, following a separation that began in August 2025, just shy of two years after the couple’s marriage on September 1, 2023, in St. Charles, Missouri. In her petition, Seamon asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no possibility of reconciliation. Both parties are residents of Missouri, though Seamon resides in St. Charles County, while her husband, Jacob J. Seamon, is located in Branson, Taney County. There are no children born to the marriage, and Seamon states that she is not pregnant.

The filing requests that neither party be awarded maintenance, noting both parties are financially self-sufficient. The couple has accumulated property and debts during their marriage, and Seamon asks the court to divide these in a fair and equitable manner. She also seeks the restoration of her maiden name. Seamon’s attorney also claims that she is without the financial resources to cover her legal costs and asks that Jacob J. Seamon contribute to these fees, given his ability to pay.

In a case marked by its brevity, the legal formalities of marriage dissolution remain unchanged. The decision now rests with the court to determine an equitable division of property, debts, and whether the marital settlement agreement, if any, is fair. This filing reflects the conclusion of a brief chapter in the lives of two individuals and the structured process that will now guide them toward closure.
