In a case filed on July 17, 2024, Samantha Ann McCoy has petitioned the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri for the dissolution of her marriage to Justin Daniel Owen McCoy. The petition, submitted through her attorney, Kristin D. Siegel of Siegel & Irwin, highlights the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the primary reason for the divorce. The couple, who wed on June 1, 2019, in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, have been separated since April 26, 2024.
The petition details that there are no children from the marriage, nor is Samantha McCoy currently pregnant. Both parties have established residency in Missouri for over ninety days prior to filing and are not on active military duty. Samantha McCoy seeks sole legal and physical custody of their adopted minor child, citing concerns over the child’s welfare and the parties’ inability to communicate effectively about the child’s needs. The filing requests an equitable division of marital property and debts, with non-marital property allocated separately.
Additionally, the petition addresses the need for both parties to contribute to the child’s healthcare and extraordinary expenses. Samantha McCoy requests that each party bear their own attorney’s fees unless Respondent’s actions unnecessarily prolong litigation. The petition also includes a request for the restoration of Samantha McCoy’s maiden name, Samantha Ann Davis, upon dissolution.
