Tamara Thomas submitted a petition to the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis seeking the dissolution of her marriage to Demetrice Thomas. The filing, made in March 12, 2026, states that she has been a resident of Missouri for more than ninety days prior to the petition and that the parties were married on October 13, 2014, in St. Louis City, Missouri. The petition records their separation as occurring on or about December 1, 2022.
The petition notes that neither party has children from the marriage, and neither is a member of the United States Armed Forces. Petitioner’s current address is listed, while Respondent’s location is unknown, as is his employment status. Both parties, however, are recorded as possessing separate property alongside shared marital property and debts, which the petitioner requests be divided fairly according to her Proposed Distribution of Assets and Debts.
The filing emphasizes that the marriage is irretrievably broken and requests the court formally dissolve the union. It also includes a request to restore the petitioner to her maiden name, Tamara Nichole Washington. Petitioner seeks to have marital property and debts allocated equitably and separate property recognized individually.
No arrangements for maintenance between the parties are included, and the petition reflects a procedural approach that addresses only legal ownership, division of assets, and formal restoration of name. The request concludes with a general plea for such orders the court deems just and proper.
This March 2026 petition situates the dissolution within the structured timelines and legal requirements of the St. Louis court system. It demonstrates how personal and financial arrangements are formally settled through the procedural framework of the law, providing resolution and clarity as parties move beyond the marriage.
