Jennifer L. Helms, once bound to Jason C. Tielms in marriage, has filed for dissolution of their 23-year union. Their marriage, which began on January 13, 2001, in Camdenton, Missouri, now finds itself in the courts of St. Charles County. The petition, submitted on November 6, 2024, paints a portrait of a relationship long beyond repair, with Jennifer asserting that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Despite their years together, the couple has not lived together as husband and wife for some time, a quiet acknowledgment that their paths have diverged.
There are no children from the marriage, and no immediate concerns over child custody or support. Instead, Jennifer seeks a fair division of marital property and debts. Both parties have separated their individual assets, but the complex task of dividing their shared assets remains to be resolved. Jennifer’s petition for dissolution requests that any marital settlement agreement be approved by the court, or, in the absence of such an agreement, a just and equitable division of their accumulated property and obligations.
Represented by attorney Timothy A. Lohmar of O’Fallon, Missouri, Jennifer also asks the court to award her attorney’s fees and costs. As the dissolution moves forward, there remains a final, lingering hope that the court will offer a fair resolution to the years of shared life that now must come to a close.
