James Holterman has taken steps to dissolve his nearly four-year marriage to Ann Holterman, filing a petition on August 21, 2024, in St. Charles County, Missouri. The couple, both retired, married on September 19, 2020, but their relationship has since deteriorated beyond repair, leading James to declare the marriage irretrievably broken. According to the petition, the couple has been living separately since April 25, 2024, and neither party is seeking maintenance. While they have accumulated property and debts during their marriage, no property settlement agreement has been reached as of the filing date. The petition also notes that there are no children from the marriage and that both parties are capable of meeting their own financial needs.

Represented by attorney Jenna Rohr Conley of Jenna Conley Law, James is asking the court for a just and equitable distribution of their marital and separate property, along with an order for Ann to contribute to his attorney’s fees. The straightforward nature of the case suggests that the primary focus will be on the division of assets and debts, with both parties appearing to seek an amicable resolution. As the case unfolds, the court’s role will be to ensure a fair outcome that reflects the circumstances of the marriage and its dissolution.
