Court records filed in St. Charles County in May 6, 2026 describe the formal unraveling of a marriage that began years earlier in Minsk, Belarus. Tatsiana Radabolskaya petitioned the Eleventh Judicial Circuit for dissolution of her marriage to Igor Dedkov, setting out the familiar factual sequence required by Missouri law: residency, duration, custody, support, property. The filing states that both parties had lived in Missouri for more than ninety days before the petition was submitted, with Radabolskaya residing in St. Charles County and Dedkov residing in St. Louis City County.
The petition states the couple married in Minsk and later separated. One unemancipated child was born during the marriage. According to the filing, no custody litigation involving the child was pending in Missouri or elsewhere, and no outside party was known to claim custody or visitation rights. Radabolskaya submitted a proposed parenting plan alongside the petition and requested joint legal custody, with sole physical custody awarded to her.
The filing also states that neither party sought maintenance from the other and that both were able to meet their own reasonable needs. Child support, however, remained unresolved. The petition asserts that the child could not support herself independently and that both parents should contribute financially. It further states that the parties accumulated marital property during the marriage, in addition to separate property held individually. Neither party, according to the filing, was an active-duty member of the armed forces.
Petitions of this kind often compress years of shared arrangements into a structured legal chronology. Addresses, timelines, and statutory declarations replace the informal understandings that once governed daily life. The court process does not attempt to reconstruct the marriage itself; it establishes a framework for what follows after its dissolution enters the public record.
