A marriage that began far from Missouri is now the subject of court proceedings in the state’s Eleventh Judicial Circuit. In the Family Court Division serving St. Charles County, Missouri, a petition filed March 4, 2026, asks the court to dissolve the marriage of Lyndsey B. Sayles and Phillip D. Sayles.
The filing notes that both parties have lived in Missouri for more than ninety days prior to the action and currently reside in the state. Their marriage was solemnized on October 26, 2013, in Port St. Joe, Florida and registered in Gulf County, Florida. According to the petition, the couple separated on February 5, 2026.
Lyndsey B. Sayles states in the filing that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved and that it is therefore irretrievably broken. The document also confirms that neither party is on active duty with the United States Armed Forces. It further states that the petitioner is not pregnant and that no children were born or adopted during the marriage.
The petition asks the court to divide marital property and debt in a manner it deems appropriate while setting apart the separate property and obligations of each party. It also requests that attorney fees and court costs be apportioned equitably. In addition, the petitioner asks the court to allow her to resume the name Lyndsey Brooke Wright.
Court filings such as this one serve as the formal gateway to a legal process that unfolds step by step. The March 4 petition places the matter before the court’s calendar, where the details of property, obligations, and final orders will be considered within the established framework of Missouri family law.
