In the heart of St. Louis County, Missouri, a chapter of matrimony that began on April 6, 1990, now stands at a crossroads. Susan K. Cosentino, the petitioner, and Kevin Cosentino, the respondent, have found themselves navigating the challenging terrain of divorce. On September 12, 2023, Susan took the momentous step of filing for dissolution, marking the end of a journey that began over three decades ago.

The reasons cited for the dissolution, as per the filing, are rooted in the acknowledgment that “there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage of Petitioner and Respondent can be preserved, and therefore, the marriage is irretrievably broken.” This candid admission of irreparable breakdown stands without blame assigned to either party, a testament to the complexities of life’s journeys.

In this legal endeavor, Susan is represented by Ann E. Bauer and Courtney A. Green from The Center for Family Law, who will guide her through the labyrinthine legal process. Susan’s prayers before the court are multifaceted, including the equitable division of marital property and debts, maintenance from the respondent, and the restoration of her maiden name to Susan Kay Baumann.

While the specific financial and property details remain undisclosed in the provided text, it is clear that Susan seeks a fair and equitable resolution of their accumulated property and obligations. As the legal proceedings unfold in St. Louis County, the fate of this enduring union rests in the hands of the justice system, where the culmination of a lifetime’s journey finds its final act.
