On July 30, 2024, Joshua S. Rivers filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Kristin E. Arand in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. The couple, who wed on October 17, 2020, in St. Charles County, Missouri, separated on April 12, 2024. Their union, registered in St. Louis County, has no children. Represented by Alison R. Gerli and Lucy D. Weilbacher of The Center for Family Law, Joshua states that the marriage is irretrievably broken and beyond preservation.
The petition underscores that both parties are employed, in good health, and capable of self-support. It also mentions their agreement reached through mediation on property division and maintenance. Joshua requests the court to dissolve the marriage, honor their mediated settlement, and allocate their assets and debts fairly. Neither party is seeking attorney’s fees from the other, reflecting a mutual understanding and willingness to move forward independently. This case, marked by a swift three-year marriage, highlights the complexities of modern relationships and the importance of equitable resolution in divorce proceedings.
