In St. Charles County, where the streets hum with the ordinary weight of lives unraveling, William R. Johnson walked into court on July 30, 2025, to end things with Sheila M. Johnson. They’d married on June 4, 2011, in St. Louis County, their vows now faded, broken by irreconcilable differences that split them apart by May 26, 2025. Sharon E. Cody of Todt, Cody, Albin & Fuchs, LLC, stands with William, guiding his plea for a clean break.
Two children, one just shy of adulthood at seventeen, tie them still. William seeks joint legal and physical custody, Sheila’s home named for school and mail, as laid out in a parenting plan yet to come. No deals on child support or maintenance yet, but both are able-bodied, their needs met without leaning on the other. Their shared years piled up assets and debts, now waiting for the court’s knife to carve them fair. Non-marital property, too, must go back to its rightful owner.
William’s got enough to cover his costs, and he asks the court to make him pay his way. In the plain light of the courthouse, his request is simple: dissolve the marriage, settle the kids, split the property, and move on. The judge, staring down the papers, holds their past in balance, ready to cut loose what’s left of their shared life.
