For Donna Mary Huff, the split wasn’t marked by loud exits or legal battles—not at first. The fractures came gradually: a moment of stillness that stretched too long, a silence around the dinner table that never found its voice again. Though they lived under the same roof for nearly a decade, Donna and Jonathan Lewis Huff quietly became strangers, each retreating into their own version of the marriage.

Married on May 21, 2016, in Clark County, Nevada, they shared a life for over nine years, much of it in St. Louis City, Missouri. Their two children—one six, the other three—remain at the heart of Donna’s petition, which she filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court on July 24, 2025. In it, she proposes joint physical and legal custody, and a parenting plan that prioritizes stability over conflict.

The formal separation began months earlier, emotionally by July 6, 2024, and physically by March 8, 2025. Donna, represented by Attorney Sarah J. Wittrock of Jones Family Law Group, LLC, states the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” with no reasonable hope of repair. No one else claims custody. There is no allegation of abuse. There is, instead, a shared sense of conclusion—an acceptance that what once was can no longer be sustained.

The court is asked to divide marital assets and debt equitably. As the legal machinery turns, it carries the quiet weight of two people letting go, without war, without noise.
