In a case filed June 3, 2025, with the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, Missouri, Thomas Michael Wynn formally petitioned to dissolve his marriage to Amanda Rae Wynn—a partnership that began on July 5, 2008, and, after nearly 17 years, has reached its conclusion. Through his attorneys Kathryn L. Dudley and Greg L. Roberts of Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard P.C., Mr. Wynn presents a portrait of a marriage now deemed “irretrievably broken.”
Both parties reside in O’Fallon, Missouri, and have lived in the state and county for their entire lives—45 years apiece. Despite occupying the same residence, the couple constructively separated on February 26, 2024. The union produced one child born during the marriage, and a second, born beforehand, for whom Thomas acknowledges paternity. The children have continuously lived with both parents at their shared address for the last five years.
Unlike other proceedings burdened with animosity or procedural complexities, this case is marked more by a lack of finality than by acrimony. No custody arrangements, no agreements on maintenance or division of assets have yet been made. But Mr. Wynn requests joint legal and physical custody—an appeal, perhaps, for stability within dissolution.
In a gesture that echoes modesty more than combativeness, he seeks that each party pays their own attorney’s fees, that separate property be set apart, and marital debts be divided equitably. The court is left to weigh the balance and determine what justice looks like at the end of a shared life.
