There are unions that begin in promise and end in silence. The marriage of Murray A. Faust and Cassidy R. Lomazzo was brief, bound on May 4, 2024, in Allegan County, Michigan. Less than a year later, by May 12, 2025, they had gone their separate ways. What lingers now is only the record, the filing of a petition in St. Louis County on August 23, 2025, where the court is asked to dissolve what cannot be mended.
He lives in Chesterfield, Missouri. She in Charleston, South Carolina. Two lives already diverged, divided by distance and by time. There are no children to bind them, no pending birth, no military duties to stay the course. Each carries work enough to sustain themselves. Each holds possessions apart, property marked as separate, outside the reach of the other.
The petition, drawn by attorney Gérald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, names the marriage as irretrievably broken. No request for maintenance, no plea for support. The words are spare, almost austere. The court is asked only to recognize the end: that what was gathered in the marriage—assets, debts—be divided in fairness, and that what belongs to each be set aside untouched.
And so the matter stands before the Family Court of St. Louis County. Not with the noise of quarrel or spectacle, but with the quiet insistence of inevitability. A marriage of scarcely a year, written down, sworn before a notary, and now carried forward toward dissolution.
