Richard G. Anderson Jr. and Angela G. Anderson’s marriage, which began in May 2007, is nearing its legal dissolution after more than 17 years. On August 12, 2024, Richard filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Family Court Division of the 11th Judicial Circuit in St. Charles County, Missouri. Represented by attorney Stephanie A. Warren of Warren Law, LLC, Richard asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken, making reconciliation impossible. The couple has four minor children, currently residing with Richard since their separation in January 2024. The petitioner requests joint legal and physical custody, with child support obligations to be assigned based on Missouri guidelines.

The petition details financial requests, including Richard’s plea for Angela to cover his attorney’s fees, citing her adequate financial resources. Both parties claim to have accumulated marital property and debts, with no pre-existing agreements on their division. The petition seeks an equitable division of assets while maintaining the non-modifiable stance on spousal maintenance—neither party seeks it. As the court navigates these complexities, it is tasked with ensuring a fair settlement that untangles nearly two decades of shared life, property, and parenthood.
