As the year draws to a close, Thomas Arendt of St. Charles County, Missouri, has chosen the final days of 2024 to pursue the dissolution of his marriage to Kathryn Arendt. The couple has faced irreconcilable differences, leading to the end of their relationship.

Represented by attorney Abigail V. DeBruin of The Bellon Law Group, Thomas filed his Petition for Dissolution of Marriage on December 30, 2024. His petition not only seeks the formal termination of their union but also addresses custody and support arrangements for the couple’s two minor children, who currently reside with Thomas. A Parenting Plan has been submitted, outlining his proposals for the children’s care moving forward. Notably, Thomas has requested that both parents share equally in the responsibility for supporting their children, including contributing to any uninsured medical expenses, a detail that reflects his desire for fairness and shared parental responsibility.

In addition to his request for joint legal and physical custody, Thomas is also seeking an equitable division of the marital property. Despite their differences, both parties have been able to support themselves financially, and Thomas is not requesting spousal maintenance. The dissolution, grounded in the claim that the marriage is irretrievably broken, is set to be heard in the upcoming months.

As 2024 fades into history, the petition for dissolution filed by Thomas Arendt against Kathryn Arendt signals the closure of one chapter, as they both step into new beginnings in the year to come.
