On August 22, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Saint Louis City, Terrell Maurice Brown decided enough was enough. He filed a petition asking the state of Missouri to officially dismantle his marriage to Icie Mae Brown. They were married on March 24, 2010, in Clayton. They stopped living together in January 2014, which means they spent far more years apart than together. Funny how marriages can outlive themselves.
Terrell is 42, unemployed, living on Peyton Lane. Icie is 40, whereabouts and employment unknown, living on Red Bud Avenue. No children were born of the union. No pregnancy. No real estate. No military service. Just a set of assets and debts like everyone collects in the daily business of survival.
The paperwork, filed through his attorney Kate Garcia of Davis & Associates, Attorneys at Law, LLC, says the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” That phrase is courthouse poetry. It means what it sounds like: there’s no fixing this thing, not even in theory.
The request is simple: dissolve the marriage, divide whatever’s left of the assets and debts, and send both parties off to pay their own legal fees. Neither wants maintenance from the other. Neither pretends reconciliation is possible.
And so, fifteen years after their wedding day, with more time spent apart than as husband and wife, Terrell Brown put his name to paper. August 22, 2025 is now the date when a long-ended story became official.
