The dissolution of the marriage between Bre’Ann L. Johnson and Russell A. Johnson Jr. has been formally initiated with a filing in the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court of St. Louis City on June 26, 2024. Bre’Ann, currently unemployed and a resident of St. Louis County, asserts that the marriage, solemnized several years ago and blessed with two children, is irretrievably broken. The separation of the parties has introduced complexities around the custody of their minor children, who have been residing with both parents.

Bre’Ann seeks sole legal custody of the children while proposing joint physical custody, with her address designated as the legal address for educational purposes. In her petition, Bre’Ann contends that there is no reasonable likelihood of preserving the marriage, indicating a fundamental breakdown in their relationship. Furthermore, she mentions that there has been no prior litigation concerning the custody of the children, ensuring clarity in the legal proceedings ahead.

The petition also outlines the need for an equitable division of both marital property and debts. Notably, Bre’Ann requests that Russell bear the cost of her attorney fees, emphasizing the financial aspects of their separation. Represented by attorney Sandra Moore-Dyson, Bre’Ann is navigating a challenging personal and legal landscape, seeking a resolution that addresses the best interests of her children and ensures a fair division of assets and liabilities.
