Petitioner Khianna DeGarmo has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Christopher DeGarmo in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri on May 24, 2024. Both parties have resided in their respective states for over ninety days prior to this filing—Khianna in St. Louis, Missouri, and Christopher in Greensboro, North Carolina. The couple wed on October 2, 2021, in Saline County, Arkansas, but separated on November 7, 2023.
This union, despite its promising start, encountered insurmountable issues, leading to the claim that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Neither Khianna nor Christopher is a member of the armed forces, and there are no children from this marriage.
Khianna, represented by attorney Sylvia J. Pociask, asserts her right to an equitable division of marital property. The petition emphasizes that Khianna has contributed significantly to their marital assets and possesses separate non-marital property. She seeks the court’s intervention to ensure a fair distribution of property and the formal dissolution of the marriage. The court is asked to recognize the marriage as irretrievably broken and to decree the separation accordingly, setting off each party’s non-marital property and dividing the marital assets equitably.
As this case progresses, it underscores the complexities of dissolving a marriage where lives and assets have intertwined. The formal legal process is expected to provide a resolution that acknowledges each party’s contributions and rights, enabling them to move forward separately.
