Zachary Schoendienst submitted a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, with the filing recorded on February 17, 2026. He and Allison Schoendienst were married on March 20, 2020, and the marriage is registered in St. Louis County. The couple separated in September 2025, and the record notes that there were no children born of the marriage.

The petition asserts that irreconcilable differences have arisen and that there is no reasonable likelihood the marriage can be preserved, rendering it irretrievably broken. Both parties are able-bodied and capable of supporting themselves, and as such, neither seeks maintenance. Petitioner also holds separate property, and both marital property and debts are to be divided equitably by the court.

Neither petitioner nor respondent is a member of the armed services, and the respondent is not currently pregnant. The petition was sworn and verified under oath by Zachary Schoendienst, confirming the accuracy of the statements presented. Legal counsel for the petitioner filed the request and requested additional relief the court may deem just and proper.

This filing represents the formal conclusion of a five-year marriage, structured entirely within the procedural confines of Missouri family law. It underscores the system’s role in providing orderly closure, confirming both rights and responsibilities, while allowing each party to continue independently without reliance on court-mandated support.
