Matthew Watson has officially petitioned the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, to dissolve his marriage to Amy Anspach. Filed on November 4, 2024, the petition alleges that irreconcilable differences have led to an irretrievable breakdown of the union. Represented by Megen J. Campbell of Cordell Law LLP, Watson outlines the history of the couple’s relationship, which began with their marriage on June 5, 2013. The couple separated on April 7, 2022, after nearly a decade together.
Watson seeks joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s two minor children, citing their shared ability to contribute financially and emotionally to the children’s upbringing. The petition emphasizes that neither party has arrangements regarding custody or maintenance, nor have they entered agreements about their accumulated marital assets and debts. Watson requests an equitable division of property and debts and asks the court to confirm the separation of nonmarital property.
The petition also includes a formal acknowledgment that neither Watson nor Anspach is currently active in the military, nor does either have knowledge of other legal proceedings that might impact the custody or visitation of their children. The filing highlights Watson’s commitment to equitable resolutions for custody, property, and financial matters, while underscoring the impossibility of reconciliation.
