In a petition filed on November 9, 2024, at the Family Court of St. Charles County, Missouri, Tyler B. Donaldson initiated proceedings to dissolve his marriage with Stefani Donaldson, citing an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The couple, who wed on February 7, 2015, and separated on October 1, 2022, had been married for nearly nine years. Represented by Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, Tyler seeks the court’s approval to dissolve the union, assert no need for spousal maintenance, and equitably divide marital assets and debts.

The petition outlines that the parties have no children together and neither is requesting financial support. Tyler highlights that both he and Stefani own separate non-marital assets and asks the court to either approve a Marital Settlement Agreement, if one is reached, or determine a fair division of property and obligations. With no prospect of reconciliation, the petition underscores that the marriage is beyond repair.

The case presents a straightforward dissolution request, with the petitioner advocating for independence and fairness in dividing marital property while respecting the autonomy of both parties. The absence of contested custody, maintenance, or military considerations indicates a potentially expeditious resolution.
