Katherine E. Watkins has formally initiated a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Thomas R. Ford, filed on November 4, 2024, in St. Louis County, Missouri. The couple, who wed on June 23, 2012, in St. James, Missouri, have been separated since September 22, 2024. Katherine resides in St. Louis, while Thomas lives in Richmond Heights.
No minor or dependent children were born to the couple, and Katherine is not currently expecting. The petition highlights that neither party is serving in the military. Katherine has requested that the court equitably divide their accumulated marital assets and debts. Alternatively, if a Marital Separation Agreement is reached, she asks that the court ensure it is fair and reasonable.
The filing indicates that both Katherine and Thomas are in good health and possess adequate financial means to support themselves independently, making any spousal maintenance unnecessary. Katherine also states that each party is capable of covering their own legal expenses, thereby precluding the need for an award for attorney fees.
This petition, marked by a decade-long marriage and the pursuit of a just and balanced resolution, brings a pivotal chapter of their lives before the court.
