As January’s chill settles over the land, a year begins anew, while a marriage comes to a bitter close. Josh Rosene, seeking to dissolve his union with Orione Swanson, filed his petition on January 15, 2026, in St. Louis County, Missouri. The marriage, which began on October 18, 2014, has fractured irreparably, with the parties separated since December 2025. With no children to consider, the divorce is not tangled in the mess of custody but instead in the division of shared property and debts.
Through his attorney, Michael P. O’Shea of Family Law Partners, Josh asks the court to dissolve the marriage and approve any existing Marital Settlement Agreement, should one be in place. If not, he seeks a fair and equitable division of the marital assets and debts. Neither party, both employed and capable, requires maintenance, and Josh requests that Orione Swanson bear the responsibility for his attorney’s fees.
In his prayer, Josh also seeks the court’s approval of the separation of non-marital assets, to be allocated to the respective parties. As the year dawns, with the stillness of winter surrounding them, the request is simple yet poignant: the dissolution of a partnership that can no longer be salvaged.
The petition speaks not of the end of a relationship, but of the necessary reckoning that comes when the fabric of a marriage is irreparably torn.
