In the quiet ebb of January, a month often imbued with hopes of renewal, Zackery Snyder took a step toward the finality of dissolution. On January 15, 2026, his petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Jennifer Snyder was filed in Jackson County, Missouri, a legal declaration marking the end of a union that had faltered in the months leading up to their separation on December 28, 2025.
The petition, filed through his attorney Justin M. Crozier, speaks to a fractured marriage. The couple, married on August 8, 2012, shares a child—a child at the heart of this legal dispute. In his prayer, Zackery seeks joint legal and physical custody of their minor child, while asking for a child support arrangement to follow the Missouri Supreme Court’s guidelines. His plan, which will later be filed with the court, is framed with the child’s best interests in mind.
Both parties, in their separate lives, are employed and self-sufficient, with no claims for maintenance. Zackery requests a fair division of marital property and separate non-marital assets, while also asking that his address be designated as the child’s residence for mailing and educational purposes. In a quiet plea for closure, he asks the court to honor their shared responsibility, both as parents and as individuals.
This petition, now filed, represents the beginning of a new chapter for a family fractured but still striving toward a fair and just resolution.
