In the case of Kate E. Jones versus Noah M. Jones, a petition for dissolution of marriage was filed on July 17, 2024, in the Family Court of St. Charles County, Missouri. Represented by Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, Kate Jones details a marriage that has seen better days and now faces an irretrievable breakdown.
Both parties have been Missouri residents for more than 90 days preceding the petition, residing in Lee’s Summit. Kate and Noah, married on August 21, 2021, in Jackson County, Missouri, separated on April 21, 2024. They have no children and Kate is not pregnant. Both are employed and over 18 years old.
The marriage has not produced any unemancipated children and neither party is currently a member of the Armed Forces. Kate’s petition emphasizes the possession of separate property by both parties, with the request that non-marital assets be set aside to their respective owners. There is no request for maintenance from either party.
Kate’s petition asks the court to recognize any marital settlement agreement between the parties as not unconscionable. In the absence of such an agreement, she requests a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts. She underscores that the marriage is irretrievably broken, leaving no reasonable likelihood for reconciliation.
The petition prays for the dissolution of the marriage, equitable division of assets and debts, and any further relief deemed proper by the court. This case underscores the procedural steps necessary to formally end a marriage that both parties agree can no longer continue.
