In the quiet precincts of St. Charles County, Missouri, the marital saga of Steven J. Paris unfolds with a petition for dissolution filed on June 10, 2024, marking the denouement of his union with Elizabeth A. Paris. Their journey began in the quaint settings of St. Peters, Missouri, though specifics of their vows remain elusive.

Steven, now in retirement, asserts his residence in the county, while Elizabeth, domiciled in Montgomery County, Tennessee, stands as the respondent in this legal drama. Their separation, dated back to December, 2023, has since kept them apart under the same roof, a poignant testament to irreconcilable differences.

This dissolution bears no fruit of parenthood, as no minor progeny linger from their union, thus simplifying the dissolution proceedings. Financially self-sustaining, neither party seeks alimony, content to divide their accumulated assets and debts in equitable proportions or endorse a pre-existing settlement agreement.

In this courthouse theater, the protagonists pledge autonomy, each capable of meeting their legal costs. Steven, represented by Terry L. Kaufman of Terry L. Kaufman, LLC, seeks not just an end to marital vows, but a restitution of individuality, restored in the name of legal separation.
