The tale of Jahshua A. James and Charnez E. James is one of a marriage that has weathered its share of storms. They exchanged vows on May 17, 2012, in the heart of St. Louis County, Missouri, their union registered and celebrated. However, by September 6, 2015, the couple had separated, marking the beginning of a prolonged period of estrangement. Their journey together brought forth one child, a bond that ties them despite the rift.

Jahshua, now residing in Stockbridge, Georgia, is employed and prepared to shoulder his responsibilities. Charnez, who has remained in Missouri, shares custody of their child, an arrangement they both agree upon. The minor has resided with Charnez for six months preceding the dissolution filing, making Missouri the jurisdiction for the case.

Jahshua claims possession of certain separate properties, as does Charnez, with both parties agreeing that no maintenance is necessary. They each stand on their own, capable of supporting themselves. The court is asked to acknowledge any Marital Settlement Agreement between them or, failing that, to divide their marital property and debts equitably.

Represented by attorney Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, Jahshua filed the petition on July 22, 2024. The petition states unequivocally that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Both parties seek a fair division of their assets and responsibilities, aiming for closure and a new chapter.
