On March 14, 2025, the St. Louis City Circuit Court felt the weight of a woman’s resolve—Tova Black, with Christopher M. Boedefeld of Baerveldt & Boedefeld, LLC, in her corner, filed to shatter her marriage to Maurice Black, a man whose “marital misconduct” she blames for the wreckage. Married since February 14, 1994, they split January 1, 2025, and Tova declares it irretrievably broken—no glue left to hold it. Three kids, all emancipated, clear the deck, and she’s not pregnant.
Tova’s funds are lean; she’s eyeing Maurice’s paycheck for maintenance and legal costs, his home a blank, summons pegged to his job. Thirty-one years of assets and debts need slicing, her non-marital share locked down, and she’s reaching for her maiden name, Tova Jenine Moore, like a lifeline to her past. Both Missouri lifers, over ninety days rooted, no military shadows here.
This ain’t a rampage—it’s a woman’s firm, clear-eyed push to break loose, grace under fire, in a courtroom’s steady hum.
