On May 16, 2024, in the courtroom corridors of Jackson County, Missouri, Chanley Katherine Garber officially filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Andrew Harrison Cox. The couple, wed on August 8, 2015, in Washington County, Tennessee, now faces irreconcilable differences that have fractured their union beyond repair. Their separation, initiated on November 28, 2022, underscores a marriage that has seen its end, with Garber citing an irretrievable breakdown as the reason for the split.
The petition, filed at the Independence division of the family court, reveals both parties’ longstanding residency in Kansas City, Missouri. Garber and Cox share a minor child, whose welfare is at the heart of the petition. Garber seeks joint legal and physical custody, ensuring stability for the child, with her own address earmarked for schooling and official matters. The plea for child support from Cox is clear, advocating for financial contributions to be managed through an income withholding order.
Representing Garber is attorney Debora L. Hale of The Law Office of Debora L. Hale, LLC, based in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Garber’s comprehensive petition not only seeks a fair division of marital assets and debts but also requests that the court approve any settlement agreement or, failing that, make an equitable distribution of their properties. Crucially, Garber’s request emphasizes that neither party is in need of spousal maintenance, reflecting their mutual financial independence.
