By the time the petition was sworn and notarized on May 7, 2026, the marriage of Alicia Scronce and Ronald Scronce had already entered the formal vocabulary of dissolution: residency requirements satisfied, separation acknowledged, property and debts cataloged for eventual division. Filed in the Family Court Division of the Circuit Court of St. Charles County under case number 2611-FC00648, the petition presents the familiar sequence of assertions through which private lives are translated into legal procedure.

According to the filing, Alicia Scronce had resided in St. Charles County for more than ninety days preceding the petition, while Ronald Scronce was identified as a resident of Montgomery County. The parties were married on Sept. 20, 20228, in St. Charles County, Missouri, though the year appears as written in the court document. The petition states that the parties had been separated since January 2026 and that there was “no reasonable likelihood” the marriage could be preserved, rendering it irretrievably broken under Missouri law.

The filing further states that the parties accumulated marital property and obligations during the marriage and asks the court to divide those assets and debts in a fair and equitable manner while awarding separate property and separate debts to each party individually. The petition also notes that neither party was serving in the armed forces. A verification attached to the filing affirms, under oath, that the allegations contained in the petition were true to the best of the petitioner’s knowledge and belief.

Such filings rarely attempt to narrate the lived experience behind them. They proceed instead through declarations, dates, and statutory phrases, each carrying legal consequence while revealing little beyond what the process requires. Over time, the court record becomes less a portrait of a marriage than an administrative ledger of its formal conclusion.
