In the quiet unraveling of a 12-year marriage, Catherine Langdon of St. Louis County filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against her husband, Marc Langdon, on October 14, 2024. For both Catherine and Marc, residents of Missouri for over ninety days preceding the filing, the separation marks the formal end to a relationship that has been in decline for some time. Catherine claims the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” with no possibility of reconciliation. The couple shares one minor child, for whom Catherine requests joint legal and physical custody, with her residence designated as the primary mailing and educational address. Catherine, however, notes that without financial support from Marc, she cannot support the child on her own, requesting that the court order child support retroactive to the date of filing, following the state’s guidelines.
Notably, both parties appear self-sufficient and have not agreed on spousal maintenance. Catherine’s petition seeks a fair division of marital property and debts and requests the court to deem any future settlement between them as not unconscionable. Despite their collective property and assets, Catherine’s legal costs incurred from the divorce prompted her to request that Marc contribute to her attorney fees, which are currently being handled by Brant Eichberg from Eichberg Law Office, LLC.
As Catherine seeks a clean, equitable resolution, her petition reflects not just the dissolution of a marriage, but the logistics of undoing a shared life, where both parties will have to navigate property, obligations, and the future well-being of their child.
