When Delante Jerrell Hamilton filed his petition for dissolution of marriage on May 12, 2025, in St. Louis City, it marked the quiet unraveling of a nearly five-year union between two individuals whose paths had grown increasingly divergent. The marriage to Patricia Grace Hamilton, solemnized on October 21, 2020, fractured formally in July 2024, when the couple separated. The reasons for the filing, though not expounded in detail, are unmistakably framed by the petitioner’s assertion that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”
Delante is represented by counsel from the Law Offices of Jackie Chun—underscoring that he is neither uncertain nor unadvised in his legal course. The couple shares children, one born prior to the marriage and others during, with Delante requesting joint legal and physical custody. He affirms there is no custody dispute with third parties and seeks enforcement provisions involving law enforcement to ensure compliance with visitation and parenting orders.
Interestingly, Delante asks that neither party pay child support—an uncommon request hinting at a potentially balanced or mutually agreeable economic arrangement. He further proposes alternating tax exemptions and asks that he maintain medical and dental insurance coverage for the children.
The petition navigates not just the legal conclusion of a partnership but the reshaping of a family unit. With calm, formal precision, Delante asks the court for a division of property, fair treatment, and the judicial acknowledgment that some bonds, though once binding, may no longer hold.
