It began with vows under a California sun in October 1997. Now, 27 years later, it is a case file in Missouri—Tiffany A. Sullivan v. Jason Lee Sullivan, a marital unraveling formally marked on May 6, 2025, in the Circuit Court of St. Charles County. What remains between them is a shared roof, the weight of nearly three decades together, and children caught in the stillness before a court order changes everything.
Tiffany, represented by attorneys Steven B. Hillemann, Lauren B. Reiche, and Matthew Baumer of Coyne, Cundiff & Hillemann, P.C., asserts the marriage is irretrievably broken. The two have remained cohabiting despite a “constructive separation” since February, their lives divided invisibly down the center of the same space.
She seeks joint legal and joint physical custody of their minor children, with her as the primary custodian and Jason afforded visitation. No prior custody agreements exist. There are assets, debts, and separate property—lines still to be drawn. Tiffany asks for child support, maintenance retroactive to the filing date, and for Jason to bear the weight of legal costs and attorney fees. The petition notes that she lacks the financial means to sustain herself and the children independently.
Behind the courtroom formality lies a story of longevity, entropy, and the painful logistics of disentanglement. One marriage, now on paper, waiting for the state to make it official: the end.
