A marriage that began on August 21, 2015 now moves through the formal gears of Missouri’s family court. In Jackson County, Cristina Albu has filed a Petition for Dissolution against Paul Bogdan, time-stamped August 22, 2025. The filing, brought by attorney Kelly Keefe of Keefe Family Law, LLC (Lee’s Summit, Missouri), states the core premise in statutory terms: irreconcilable differences have produced an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
The petition is precise about what follows. Albu asks the court to award her sole legal and sole physical custody of the couple’s two minor children, with her address designated for educational and mailing purposes. She seeks child support under Section 452.340.1 and Rule 88.01, routed through the Family Support Payment Center and retroactive to service. The filing notes both parties are employed, that neither is on active duty, and that maintenance is not sought by either side.
On property, the request is conventional but consequential: identify each party’s non-marital assets and set them apart; divide marital property and debts in a fair, equitable manner. Finally, Albu asks that Bogdan pay both his and her attorney’s fees and costs.
Stripped to its essentials, the petition converts private history into public record: a decade-long union, two children, and a roadmap for custody, support, and division that the Jackson County court is now asked to impose.
