As February ushers in the anticipated swell of Valentine’s Day sentiments, Nicholas Eggering’s filing on February 14, 2025, cuts sharply through the romantic haze. A stark declaration of the end of a 24-year marriage to Angela Hill-Eggering, the petition for dissolution of marriage filed in St. Charles County underscores the dissonance between the celebrated heart-shaped season and the irremediable breakdown of a once-promising union.
The petition, drafted by Family Law Partners attorneys, Jamie D. LaVey and Cameron B. Derman, offers a sobering account of the marriage’s disintegration. Nicholas and Angela, who wed on February 24, 2001, had separated by January 2025. With no children involved, the dissolution of their shared property and debt is now at the forefront. Nicholas is determined to ensure a fair and equitable division, invoking accusations of marital misconduct and abuse. The petition emphasizes the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, with no likelihood of reconciliation. Despite Angela’s financial resources, Nicholas seeks her assistance in covering his attorney’s fees, asserting the need for the Court to evaluate the fairness of any agreements made.
Nicholas’ prayer to the Court is one of finality—seeking not only a dissolution of the marriage but an end to a chapter marred by betrayal and conflict. His request for no spousal maintenance reflects both parties’ capacity to meet their needs independently. His hope lies in the Court’s judgment to grant a resolution, one that balances the scales of equity amid the shadows of a disintegrating partnership.
