Well folks, we’ve got ourselves another one of those classic tales of love gone sour, and this drama unfolded on September 6, 2023, right there in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. It’s a story as old as time, or at least as old as this marriage, which started back in ’98 when Margaret Goodwin was already in her early thirties. She’s now a seasoned resident of the Show-Me State at the ripe age of 66, enjoying her well-earned retirement.

And then we’ve got her soon-to-be-ex, Fred Goodwin. At what age Fred decided to enter this marital rollercoaster, well, the court documents don’t quite say, but one can only imagine.

Now, the important bits, they tied the knot in ’98 and decided to call it quits around September 1, 2023. No love lost there, it seems. The good news, though, is that they’re both doing just fine on their own, no need for alimony in this court, folks.

But here’s where things get interesting. They’ve got some stuff together – you know, the usual marriage business – assets, debts, and all that jazz. And, according to the good folks at the court, there’s about as much chance of saving this marriage as there is of me winning the Tour de France on a tricycle.

And let’s not forget Margaret’s lawyer, Brian Langley of Langley Law Firm, LLC, representing her in this marital skirmish. He’s probably seen his fair share of divorces, but this one, well, it’s just another day at the office for him.

So, Margaret’s laying it all out for the court. She’s saying, “Hey, this marriage is toast, let’s call it a day.” She wants the court to do its thing – dissolve the marriage, divvy up the stuff, and make sure nobody’s left high and dry.

Now, we’ll have to wait and see what the judge says. Will the marriage officially bite the dust, or is there a glimmer of hope left for these lovebirds? Either way, it’s another day in the wild world of Missouri divorce court, where love is lost.
