In the family court of St. Charles County, Missouri, Ashley M. Bauman, a resident of Wentzville, took the first step toward dissolving her 12-year marriage to Joshua S. Bauman. On November 11, 2024, she filed a petition for divorce, citing irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. According to the documents, the couple separated in July 2024, and they have two children from their union. Despite the separation, the couple has come to an agreement regarding custody and child support.
Ashley is represented by Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, who will assist in navigating the dissolution process. In the petition, Ashley requested joint legal and physical custody of their children, a matter she had already addressed in a previously executed parenting plan. Both parties have agreed not to seek maintenance, as outlined in their prior understanding. As the court proceeds with the case, Ashley has requested the court’s approval of any Marital Settlement Agreement or, in its absence, a fair division of property and debts accrued during the marriage.
For Ashley, the path forward is clear: she seeks a fair and equitable resolution, one that ensures stability for her children while preserving the integrity of her separate property. With her legal team by her side, she hopes the court will act swiftly to finalize the dissolution of her marriage and bring a sense of closure to this chapter of her life.
