In the shaded quiet of Troy, Missouri, the days grew heavier between Jordan R. McCullough and Heidi M. McCullough. The marriage, once codified on August 10, 2018, in St. Charles County, had unraveled into disquiet—its threads frayed by what the petitioner described as irreconcilable differences and emotional unrest. On July 1, 2025, Jordan filed a petition to dissolve the marriage, invoking concern not only for the union but for the safety and stability of the couple’s three young children.

The filing, submitted through attorney Kevin D. Morris of Boehmer Law, LLC, outlines a portrait of parental fear. Jordan seeks sole legal and physical custody of the children, citing significant mental health concerns involving the respondent, including her abrupt discontinuation of medication. He characterizes himself as a fit and capable parent, alleging that Heidi’s condition puts the children at risk.

The petition also acknowledges the family’s history: one child born before marriage, and two during their nearly seven-year union. All three children have lived primarily at their former shared residence in Troy. The document does not request maintenance for either party, as both are reportedly self-sufficient.

In a legal cadence both firm and personal, the filing underscores Jordan’s wish for protection—of the children, of his role as a father, and of a future unmarred by conflict. As the court begins its work, a once-shared life is parsed for meaning, custody, and closure.
