A four-page petition filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis lays out the administrative end of a marriage that began in 2016. CASADY WYCKOFF has asked the court to dissolve her marriage to MOLLY DESJARDINS, stating that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved and that it is irretrievably broken.

The petition, filed February 16, 2026, states that the petitioner has been a Missouri resident for more than ninety days preceding the filing and currently resides in St. Louis City. The respondent is listed as residing in Charleston County, South Carolina. The parties were married on May 21, 2016, with the marriage registered in Sanilac County, Michigan, and physically separated on or around July 22, 2023. Neither party is on active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States or entitled to protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.

The filing indicates that there were no children born to or adopted by the parties and that neither party is pregnant. It further states that no arrangements have been made regarding maintenance and that each party is capable of supporting herself and is not in need of spousal maintenance from the other. The petition notes that marital property and debts were acquired during the marriage, that no property settlement agreement had been entered as of the filing date, and that non-marital property should be set aside to each party. Each party, the document asserts, is capable of paying her own attorney’s fees and litigation costs.

The relief requested is direct: dissolution of the marriage, equitable division of marital property and debt, allocation of non-marital property, and an order that neither party pay maintenance to the other. Mid-February filings such as this one move quietly through the docket, translating separation into a formal record. The court’s involvement is procedural, transforming a private decision into a judgment that defines property, responsibility, and the terms of closure.
