David Adam Leatherwood is moving forward with ending his 12-year marriage to Cherie Anh Congour-Leatherwood, filing for dissolution in Jackson County, Missouri, on October 1, 2024. The petition, filed pro se, details their separation in September of the same year. Both parties have called Kansas City their home throughout the marriage and now find themselves at a crossroads, with Leatherwood declaring that their union is irretrievably broken.
In the absence of children and spousal support requests, the matter boils down to property division. Leatherwood requests the court to fairly allocate their marital assets and debts or approve any potential settlement agreement they might reach beforehand. With neither party seeking financial support from the other, Leatherwood has also asked that Congour-Leatherwood’s maiden name be restored. Both parties, self-reliant and financially stable, seem determined to close this chapter of their lives quietly, sharing no illusions of a future together.
While the petition is a clear statement of intent, it underscores the simplicity of a once-complicated bond, now unraveling with little contention.
