The paperwork is spare, almost methodical. In the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, MIRA M. TUCKER has petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage to BRADY J. TUCKER, setting out in formal language the chronology of a relationship that began in 2020 and, as of early 2026, has come to an end.

The petition was filed February 17, 2026. It states that both parties have resided in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, for more than 90 days preceding the filing and that both are over the age of 18. They were married on October 10, 2020, in Bloomington, Indiana, and separated on or about January 23, 2026. The filing asserts that irreconcilable differences have led to an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, with no reasonable likelihood that it can be preserved.

According to the petition, neither party is pregnant, and neither is serving on active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States or its allies. No arrangements have been made regarding maintenance, and the document states that both individuals are able-bodied and capable of supporting themselves and their reasonable needs through appropriate employment or sufficient property. As such, neither seeks maintenance or attorney fees from the other.

The petition further notes that the parties accumulated assets and debts during the marriage and requests an equitable division of marital property pursuant to Missouri statute. It also asks that nonmarital property be set apart to each party as separate property. In February, when courts often see the practical consequences of decisions made at the start of a new year, such filings become part of a structured process—one that converts private change into public record and channels it through established rules designed to conclude, rather than prolong, dispute.
