On a fateful October 20, 2023, in St. Charles County, Missouri, Philip Clogston filed for the dissolution of his marriage to Marsha Clogston. The reason cited for this legal separation is that the marriage has become “irretrievably broken.” Notably, the document does not assign blame to either party, leaving the circumstances of their parting a mystery.
The couple, who have no children from their union, will find their path to separation less complex in that regard. Philip, represented by attorney Melissa A. Lecour from Lecour Family Law LLC, has put forth a set of requests. These include the dissolution of the marriage, the division of separate and marital property, and the equitable division of debts and obligations. The petitioner is clear that no maintenance is sought for either party. Philip further seeks the payment of his attorney fees by Marsha and is open to the restoration of Marsha’s maiden name if she desires.
While the document doesn’t provide specific details regarding the couple’s property and debts, it hints at a deeper narrative that revolves around the intricacies of disentangling a marriage that has seen better days. Their journey continues in St. Charles County, Missouri, where the outcome of this “irretrievably broken” marriage remains uncertain.
