Richard Alexander, a retired resident of St. Charles County, Missouri, has decided to end his marriage to Suzanne Alexander, officially filing for divorce on August 10, 2024. Their marriage, which once held promise, has reached a point where reconciliation seems impossible. The couple, who emotionally separated earlier this year, have no children and have mutually agreed that spousal maintenance isn’t necessary. Richard, living on his retirement income, and Suzanne, who is still employed and financially stable, appear to be handling the dissolution with a sense of finality rather than bitterness.
What’s striking here is the quiet resignation in Richard’s petition. He’s not asking for much—just a fair division of property and for each party to cover their own legal fees. There’s a sense of a life once shared, now being neatly divided, with both parties ready to move on. Represented by attorney Marshall R. Hoekel of Goldson Hoekel, LLC, Richard’s case reflects the end of a marriage that, in his words, is “irretrievably broken.” The court in St. Charles County will now step in to sort out the details, but the story, like many others, speaks to the complexities of human relationships and the often-painful process of letting go.
