There is a stillness to the way a case enters the record. In the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, State of Missouri, a petition filed February 4, 2026 asks the court to dissolve the marriage of Jeremy Davis Lampe and Gaylynn Marie Jones.
The petition states that both parties have been residents of St. Charles County for more than ninety days preceding the filing. Lampe has lived in Missouri for thirty-three years and in the county for six; Jones has lived in Missouri for five years and in the county for five. They were married on September 7, 2021, and the marriage was registered in St. Louis County, Missouri. The separation is listed as occurring on or about November 6, 2025.
Irreconcilable differences are cited as the cause of an irretrievable breakdown, with no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved. Neither party is serving on active duty in the armed forces of the United States or its allies, and the respondent is not pregnant. The filing indicates that no arrangements have been made regarding maintenance, and both parties are described as able-bodied and capable of supporting themselves, with each able to pay his or her own attorney fees and litigation costs.
The petition acknowledges that two children were born of the marriage and that no arrangements have yet been made for custody or support. It requests joint legal and joint physical custody, designating the petitioner’s residence for mailing and educational purposes pursuant to a proposed parenting plan to be filed. The petitioner further asks for a reasonable sum in child support under Rule 88.01 and for a just division of marital property and debts, with non-marital property set aside to each party.
Filed in early February, when court calendars settle into the rhythm of a new year, the case moves forward under Missouri statutes that set out the obligations of parents and spouses at the close of a marriage. The next steps—parenting plans, financial disclosures, and judicial review—will shape how responsibilities are defined and recorded, transforming a private decision into a structured legal conclusion.
