In the autumn quiet of St. Charles County, Missouri, Tamara L. Martin set forth a petition for dissolution of marriage against Paul L. Mobley Jr. on October 8, 2025. The marriage, solemnized on September 19, 2014, in St. Charles, had weathered more than a decade before its slow unraveling came to an unceremonious end on August 10, 2025, when the couple separated. What once may have been a partnership of shared ambitions has given way to two lives standing apart, divided by irreconcilable differences and the weight of unfulfilled promise.
Represented by attorney Timothy J. Farrell of Farrell & Martin, Tamara asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation. Her petition seeks a fair division of the couple’s marital property and debts, the setting apart of their respective non-marital assets, and an award of maintenance to sustain her means of living. She further requests that Paul bear the cost of attorney’s fees and court expenses, citing her limited resources and dependence throughout the marriage.
There are no children from the union, and neither party is serving in the armed forces. The petition paints a restrained but unmistakable portrait of quiet dissolution — one rooted not in conflict but in fatigue, not in passion but in its absence. In the silence that follows, the court will be left to unspool the remnants of a marriage that began in shared vows and now concludes in legal language.
