In the ongoing legal saga unfolding in St. Louis County, the dissolution of marriage between Katherine Hickey Alder and Phillip Alder is now a matter of public record. Filed on May 23, 2024, in the Circuit Court, State of Missouri, this petition for marital dissolution presents a narrative of a decades-long union teetering on the brink. Katherine Hickey Alder, the petitioner, asserts her residency in Missouri for over six decades, with more than a quarter-century spent in St. Louis County. Meanwhile, Respondent Phillip Alder is reported to have been a resident of Martin County, Florida, for approximately 27 years, preceding this legal action. Both parties, aged over 18, entered into matrimony on May 5, 2006, in St. Louis County. However, the marriage fractured irreparably, with the couple parting ways in November 2023. Highlighting the absence of offspring from the union, the petitioner, Katherine Alder, avows an equitable division of marital assets and liabilities. With both parties gainfully employed, neither currently serving in the military, and no prospects for reconciliation, the petitioner implores the court to adjudicate the dissolution and effect a fair distribution of assets. This poignant legal maneuver encapsulates the disintegration of a once-cherished bond, now reduced to formalities in the hallowed halls of justice. Representing the petitioner are Michell J. Spirn, Alexandra D. Noll, and Julia R. Dollow from Spirn Family Law.
