Lawrence S. Liebman and Nicole M. Liebman’s nearly three-decade-long marriage reached a turning point on January 2, 2025, when Lawrence filed a petition for dissolution in St. Louis County, Missouri. Represented by Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, Lawrence’s filing outlined the end of a union that began on July 12, 1996, in Olmsted County, Minnesota. The couple, both residents of Missouri for over 90 days, had been living separately since March 31, 2023, with Lawrence stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
The petition addressed the division of marital property and debts, requesting a fair and equitable distribution. It also acknowledged Nicole’s need for temporary maintenance, a detail that underscored the financial complexities of their separation. With no unemancipated children involved, the case focused primarily on the division of assets accumulated over 28 years of marriage.
This filing, coming at the start of 2025, highlights the challenges of dissolving a long-term marriage, where shared histories and intertwined lives must be carefully untangled. As the petition moves forward, it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between closure and fairness in the legal process.
