Samuel Martinez, through his attorney Anthony J. Moreno of Moreno Law, LLC, has filed for divorce from Daisy B. Villafain in Jackson County, Missouri. The couple married in December 2000 in New York City but separated in March 2019. In his petition, Samuel claims the marriage is irretrievably broken and requests the court dissolve it. The petition acknowledges the couple has one child, whose custody arrangement has already been agreed upon. Samuel proposes joint legal and physical custody, with Daisy’s address serving as the child’s primary mailing and educational residence.
While both parties are employed and capable of supporting themselves, Samuel requests the court make an equitable distribution of their property and debts. He also seeks a standard child support arrangement in compliance with Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01, or as otherwise agreed by the parties. Interestingly, Samuel explicitly states that no attorney fees should be awarded, unless Daisy engages in actions that would unnecessarily increase his legal costs. In that case, he asks for reimbursement.
Overall, the petition is straightforward, focusing on a fair dissolution of the marriage, financial independence for both parties, and an already agreed-upon child custody arrangement. This matter
