The dissolution of a fifteen-year marriage has now been set into motion in St. Louis County. On September 22, 2025, Nama Naser, represented by attorney Jennifer M. Yarbrough of St. Louis, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against Hanan Alsari. The couple, who married on April 27, 2010, in Iraq, has shared both a household and the raising of three children, all still minors. Their separation, dated August 27, 2025, marked the formal unraveling of a union that has, in Naser’s words to the court, become irretrievably broken.
In his filing, Naser affirms that reconciliation is not possible, that attempts to preserve the relationship have no reasonable chance of success. He proposes a custody arrangement rooted in shared responsibility: joint legal and physical custody of their children, guided by an attached parenting plan. Alongside this, he requests that child support be determined in accordance with Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01, reflecting both parents’ obligations and abilities to contribute to their children’s lives.
The petition further addresses property and finances, seeking a fair division of both marital and separate property, as well as debts accumulated during the marriage. Neither party, according to Naser, requires maintenance, as both are capable of supporting their own needs.
The filing marks not only the legal end of a marriage but also a turning point for a family, as three children prepare to navigate life across two households, carrying forward a story that began in Iraq and is now reshaped in Missouri.
