As the final days of 2024 unfolded, the quiet suburbs of St. Charles County bore witness to a marital chapter coming to its legal conclusion. On December 30, 2024, Kevin W. King filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Sarah R. King in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County. The filing signaled the formal end of a union that, according to Kevin’s petition, had reached an irretrievable breakdown.

The couple, whose years together yielded no minor children, stands at a pivotal crossroads. Both are employed and financially independent, eliminating the need for spousal maintenance. Represented by attorney Amber L. Bargen of Amber Bargen Law, Kevin has asked the court to ensure a fair division of the marital property and debts while preserving the separate assets each brought into the marriage. Notably, he has also requested that each party bear their own legal costs.

As one year gave way to the next, the court’s role will now be to untangle the legal ties that bound Kevin and Sarah, marking an end to their shared journey and a new beginning for both.
