Regina A. Cunningham has taken formal steps to end her long-standing marriage to John S. Cunningham by filing a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Family Court of St. Louis County. The petition, filed on September 18, 2024, claims that the couple’s marriage, which began on August 16, 2003, is irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.

The couple, who separated on July 1, 2024, shares three children, and Regina asserts that they have already reached an agreement regarding custody, visitation, and child support. Regina, represented by attorney Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, also asks the court to approve a fair division of their marital property and debts, noting that both parties are in possession of separate assets.

The petition emphasizes that neither Regina nor John is seeking spousal maintenance and requests that each party retain their respective non-marital property. While the petition does not detail the full extent of their financial arrangements, it leaves room for the court to approve a potential marital settlement agreement if one is executed. Regina’s filing marks the formal end to their over two decades together, with the court now left to finalize the dissolution.
