The petition arrived not with animosity, but with restraint and precision—filed on May 13, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Jackson County by Maira Campos Price and Graydon Scott Price. Married on August 28, 2004, in Excelsior Springs and now sharing a home in Kansas City, the couple asked the court not for a dissolution of marriage, but for a legal separation—a signal of distance without total departure, of disconnection without the finality of divorce.
Their shared life spanned over two decades and produced a son, now 19, who resides temporarily in Kansas but remains, by mutual agreement, under the jurisdiction of the Missouri court. The petition makes clear: the marriage is not irretrievably broken, but the conditions for living together no longer exist. The parties remain under one roof, but the emotional contract, it seems, has lapsed.
There is no request for maintenance. Both state they earn sufficient income to maintain their separate lives and have agreed upon an equitable division of marital assets and debts. They ask the court to recognize and set aside their individual, non-marital holdings. Custody of their son will be shared jointly, with contingency plans should either move across state lines.
No attorneys are listed in the filing; the petition appears to be jointly prepared and signed by Maira and Graydon themselves—a quiet, deliberate effort to redefine their partnership under law without the noise of courtroom battle.
