The marriage between Derek R. Carnall and Taylor A. Carnall began on October 15, 2016, in Jackson County, Missouri. However, on August 20, 2024, the couple separated, and just days later, on November 12, 2024, Derek Carnall filed for dissolution of their marriage in the Circuit Court of Jackson County. In his petition, Carnall requests sole legal and physical custody of their four children, citing the best interests of the children. The children have lived with him for the past 60 days, and he is seeking a parenting plan that the court can approve.
Carnall is asking the court to divide the marital property and debts equitably, stating that neither party should be entitled to maintenance. The petition also includes a request for child support as per Missouri guidelines. Carnall’s attorney, Abraham D. Kuhl of The Kuhl Law Firm, LLC, has filed the petition and noted that should the respondent unnecessarily prolong the litigation, they will seek reimbursement for any additional legal fees incurred.
No marital settlement agreement has been reached, and in the absence of one, Carnall requests that the court fairly divide the assets and debts. Both parties, according to the petition, are capable of self-support and have no further legal proceedings regarding the custody of the children in any other jurisdiction.
