The dissolution of marriage between Oba Hashim Webb and Starchima R. Webb was filed in St. Louis City on February 13, 2025. After nearly 20 years of marriage, having tied the knot on August 28, 2004, the couple’s relationship ultimately reached its end. The parties have been separated since July 2022, and in the petition, they both state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no hope of reconciliation.

Although the children, born to the couple, are now adults, child support remains a key element of the case. The petitioner is seeking child support based on Missouri’s Rule 88.01 guidelines, recognizing that the children are eligible for support. In addition to child support, Oba Hashim Webb, who is represented by Jonathan K. Glassman of Glassman Divorce, LLC, is requesting a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts. The petitioner is also seeking the respondent to cover the attorney’s fees and litigation costs incurred during the proceedings.

Both parties are financially self-sufficient, with no claims for maintenance. The petition, filed just a day before Valentine’s Day, underscores the personal and financial complexities of ending a marriage that has spanned two decades. This case will focus on settling financial obligations, including child support, and dividing property and debts as the couple moves toward a formal resolution of their marriage.
