Bobby Gene DeMay III has filed a petition in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of St. Charles County, Missouri requesting the dissolution of his marriage to Julie Marie Dhway. The petition, filed March 10, 2026, notes that both parties have been residents of the county for more than ninety days and currently live at the same address in Defiance, Missouri.
The marriage began on May 7, 2018, in San Diego, California, and the couple separated in September 2025. The petition confirms the presence of one minor child born to the marriage and asserts that the State of Missouri has jurisdiction over matters relating to custody and support. Both parties are identified as over the age of eighteen, with neither currently pregnant.
According to the filing, the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” It outlines accumulated property and debts, and requests that marital property be divided fairly. DeMay’s proposed parenting plan seeks sole legal and physical custody of the minor child and calls for child support in accordance with Missouri guidelines. The petition also addresses attorney fees and litigation costs, with the possibility of modification if the parties reach a settlement.
Both petitioner and respondent are described as employed and able-bodied, such that neither requires maintenance from the other. The filing emphasizes that no other custody proceedings involving the child are known, and no other individuals claim custody or visitation rights.
As the case moves into the formal judicial process, the March 10 petition now frames the terms of dissolution, custody, and property division within the procedural authority of Missouri courts. The filing illustrates how the resolution of family matters relies on structured legal frameworks that extend across property, obligations, and parenting arrangements.
