Picture this: a St. Louis courtroom, the kind where lives quietly shift gears. On March 12, 2025, Gabrielle Mueller, a woman with a steady gaze, filed to end her marriage to Michael Slipko Jr. in the Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Missouri. She’s got Megan C. Degunia and Stephen J. Bardol of Bardol Law Firm, LLC, in her corner, steering her through a breakup that’s been brewing since June 2024. They’d tied the knot March 28, 2020, right there in St. Louis, but now, she says, it’s irretrievably broken—no kids, no drama, just a union that’s run its course.
Both have lived in Missouri over ninety days—Gabrielle at West Park Avenue, Michael a few blocks away on Manchester. No military ties, no pending babies, just two people ready to stand on their own. She’s not asking for his money, nor he for hers; both can manage, she figures. Property’s the game—hers to keep separate, theirs to split fair. Legal fees? Each pays their own, though she notes Michael’s got the means.
It’s a clean cut, no frills—a story of two adults stepping away from a shared past, leaving the court to divvy up what’s left.
