In the heart of the St. Louis City Circuit Court, Velva Michelle Imel Williams has taken a decisive step to end her marriage to Douglas B. Williams, Jr. The petition for dissolution, filed on July 2, 2024, unfolds a narrative of a union that began on September 29, 2012, in Bennington County, Vermont, but is now beyond repair. After a separation that started on September 6, 2022, Velva asserts that there is no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation, leading to an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Both parties, residents of Missouri for over four years, are gainfully employed and self-sufficient, negating the need for spousal support. Importantly, there are no minor children involved, and Velva is not currently pregnant. The couple has proactively executed a Marital Settlement and Separation Agreement, setting the stage for an equitable distribution of their marital assets and debts.
Velva seeks to restore her maiden name, Velva Michelle Imel, and requests that her non-marital property be set aside in accordance with their agreement. The case, represented by attorney Sarah J. Wittrock of Jones Family Law Group, LLC, highlights the complexities and emotional weight carried by individuals seeking closure and new beginnings through the legal system.
