Roberta Sharmon Haynes steps into the quiet corridors of St. Louis County’s legal system seeking to untangle a marriage that has long been unraveling. The petition for dissolution of her marriage to Alexander William Haynes, filed on November 18, 2025, lays bare the stark realities that have overtaken their shared life. Married on October 11, 2014, the couple has lived apart for the past year, confined to the same address in separation, with Alexander currently incarcerated.
With no children born or adopted from the union, and neither party expecting, the dissolution is concentrated on property and obligations. Roberta, represented by Kimber H. Baro of the Baro Law Firm, petitions the court to declare the marriage irretrievably broken, divide marital property and debt equitably, and allocate separate property and debt to each party. She also requests that no maintenance be awarded to either spouse, ensuring financial independence in the wake of separation.
The petition is precise yet carries the weight of a life chapter closing. It underscores both the legal and personal dimensions of a union that has reached its terminus. Through the filing, Roberta seeks not only the equitable resolution of assets and debts but the affirmation of autonomy and the right to move forward unencumbered, signaling the finality of a relationship that no longer serves either party.
