In the gritty light of St. Louis County’s courthouse, where the air carries the weight of fractured vows, Teague C. Peak stood on July 31, 2025, to cut loose from Nicole C. Peak. Wed on January 8, 2020, in the county’s fleeting grace, their five-year marriage buckled by November 28, 2024, split by irreconcilable differences that no prayer could mend. With Attorney Joseph A. Specter at his side, Teague seeks a dissolution, plain and unsparing, to end what once held fast.
No children bind them, no unborn hopes stir. Teague and Nicole, each standing firm on their own ground, need no support from the other. Their shared life—marital property and debts—sits before the court, waiting to be carved up fair. Separate property, too, must be set aside, each piece returned to its rightful keeper. Maintenance is off the table, both able to carry their own weight. Legal costs, unspoken, fall where they may.
The courtroom’s silence holds their unraveling. Teague’s plea is stark: dissolve the bond, divide the goods, settle the debts, and let each walk free. In this place of reckoning, where love’s promises turn to ash, the judge must wield the law’s sharp edge, slicing through their past to grant a future unyoked, clean as bone under the county’s unyielding sky.
