In a dispassionate and methodical petition, Maya E. Moody moves to dissolve her marriage with Morgan A. Moody, citing the irretrievable breakdown of their union. Filed on August 28, 2024, in the St. Louis County Circuit Court, the petition outlines the ten-year residency of both parties in the county, along with their 17-year marriage that began on August 11, 2007. The couple constructively separated in September 2023, signaling the end of their marital journey.

The petition emphasizes that the couple, who share two minor children, engaged in a collaborative divorce process, reaching a mutual agreement on all matters. Maya Moody, represented by Allison R. Gerli and Lucy D. Weilbacher of The Center for Family Law, requests the court to recognize the settlement agreement as fair, dividing property and debts accordingly, and to incorporate the jointly agreed parenting plan into its orders. The petition also seeks joint legal and physical custody of the children, along with maintenance and child support as outlined in their agreement. The couple agrees to bear their own attorney’s fees, reflecting the conclusion of a once-shared life now legally unraveling.
