On March 6, 2025, Destiny Z. Mitchell took a decisive step in the Jackson County Circuit Court, seeking to dissolve her marriage to George A. Dluhos. Represented by William Talbert of Talbert Divorce and Family Law LLC, she asserted that their nearly six-year union had reached an irreparable end due to irreconcilable differences.
Their marriage, which began on July 24, 2019, was short-lived. By July 23, 2020, they had separated, and since then, any hope of reconciliation had faded. Mitchell, now the primary caregiver of their minor child, has resided in Missouri for over 90 days before filing, meeting the court’s jurisdictional requirements. She petitioned for sole legal and sole physical custody, arguing it is in the child’s best interest.
Beyond custody, Mitchell is seeking an equitable division of marital assets and debts. She also requests spousal maintenance, asserting that Dluhos is capable of providing financial support. Additionally, she has asked the court to order Dluhos to cover her legal fees. The whereabouts of Dluhos remain unknown, adding a layer of complexity to the case.
As the legal proceedings begin, the court will determine how to dissolve the marriage and address the financial and custodial matters at hand. The case, now in motion, underscores the legal and personal complexities that accompany the unraveling of a marriage.
