In the quiet dissolution of a brief union, Angela Ellet filed for divorce from Brandon Ellet on May 15, 2025, in St. Louis City, Missouri, citing the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. The couple, married scarcely over a year ago on February 25, 2024, in Franklin County, had separated less than two months prior to the filing, on March 30. Though brief, their union bore the familiar markers of adult entanglement—shared property, debts, and the silent failure of reconciliation.
Angela, represented by attorney Amanda M. Basch of Schmidt Basch, LLC, requests the court to dissolve the marriage and fairly divide marital assets and liabilities. She asserts that both she and Brandon are self-sufficient, and neither seeks maintenance. Angela is employed at St. Louis Children’s Hospital BJC, while Brandon works for Modular Process Control, LLC. No children were born of the marriage, and Angela is not pregnant, eliminating custody issues from the proceedings.
With no allegations of misconduct or complex financial battles, the petition reads as a quiet plea to end what began with promise but now rests on irreconcilable differences. Angela asks the court to permit each party to cover their own legal fees and to issue all other orders deemed just. What remains is the formal untying of a bond that, for all its brevity, still required the full machinery of the court to undo.
