On August 26, 2024, Debra M. McCorkendale filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to James G. McCorkendale in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri. The couple, married on October 28, 2017, in Greenwood, Jackson County, is now seeking to end their union, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. Despite residing at the same address, Debra considers the marriage to be effectively ended.
The petition, filed through attorney John A. Reed of Kelly, Reed & Jansen, LLC, requests a fair division of marital property and debts as outlined in their Marital Settlement Agreement. Additionally, Debra seeks to revert her surname to Debra Michele Beard and requests that James cover her attorney’s fees if he does not settle the matter amicably or delays the proceedings.
Both parties are financially independent and do not require spousal maintenance. There are no children from the marriage, and neither party is currently pregnant. The petition emphasizes that the marriage is beyond repair and requests a resolution that reflects the equitable distribution of assets and liabilities.
