There are marriages that end with fury, and others that dissolve in silence. In the quiet corridors of the St. Louis City Circuit Court, Margo S. Kahn chose the latter. On October 28, 2025, she filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Daniel J. Kahn, asserting that their union, solemnized on July 13, 2021, has become irretrievably broken. The document, deliberate in tone and stripped of sentiment, speaks of two people who now share only a mailing address, not a life.
Represented by counsel (attorney name and firm not specified in the filing), Margo declared that she and Daniel separated on or about October 1, 2024, and though they occupy the same residence, they no longer live as husband and wife. There are no children, no pregnancy, and no entanglement of ongoing dependency. Both, she affirms, are able-bodied and capable of self-support, thus no maintenance is requested or required from either side.
A settlement agreement, referenced but not yet filed, outlines the division of property and debt—an orderly parting, if not an emotional one. Margo’s prayer to the Court is simple yet final: that the marriage be dissolved, that each party retain his or her own separate property, and that the bond once sanctified now be lawfully undone.
In the end, this petition is not a plea but a statement—of finality, of quiet resolve, and of two paths that no longer converge.
