February is supposed to be the month of love, but for Willow M. Wright, it marked the end of something far from romantic. On February 12, 2025, she filed for divorce from Timothy S. Wright in the Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, City of St. Louis, stating their marriage was irretrievably broken and beyond repair. The filing, represented by attorney Tamica Campbell of Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, lays out a stark picture of a relationship marred by control, isolation, and a history of physical abuse.
Willow, currently unemployed, detailed how Timothy’s pattern of behavior had made the marriage untenable. With no minor children between them and no likelihood of reconciliation, she asked the court to dissolve the marriage, set aside non-marital assets, and fairly divide marital property. She also requested a restraining order to keep Timothy away, barring him from disturbing her peace or approaching her residence. She further asked to restore her maiden name, closing the chapter on this marriage once and for all.
For a man whose whereabouts are now unknown, Timothy remains an absent but looming figure in the case, a reminder of a past Willow is determined to leave behind. The divorce petition, filed just two days before Valentine’s Day, is a cold contrast to a month often associated with flowers and romance—a blunt reminder that not all love stories end with happily ever after.
