Taylor L. Musselman filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Family Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, officially recorded on February 17, 2026. The petition names Katherine D. Buckallew as the respondent. The marriage, registered in Jackson County, Missouri, took place on November 24, 2022. According to the filing, the couple separated on or about September 3, 2025, and there are no unemancipated children from the union.
The petition clarifies that both parties are over 18 and capable of supporting themselves. Neither seeks maintenance, and each possesses certain non-marital assets. Marital property and obligations have been accumulated during the course of the marriage, and the petitioner requests that any Marital Settlement Agreement be upheld as fair, or that the court otherwise equitably divide the marital property and debts.
Both parties reside in different states, with the petitioner living in Florida and the respondent in Missouri. Neither is a member of the Armed Forces, and each maintains control over separate property acquired before or outside the marriage. The filing underscores the irretrievable breakdown of the relationship and the absence of any reasonable likelihood for reconciliation.
The petition situates the dissolution within the structured processes of Missouri family law. It reflects a procedural approach to concluding a marriage and allocating shared responsibilities, offering a framework for closure while the parties transition to independent management of their assets and obligations.
