Some marriages do not collapse in spectacle but rather thin out quietly, worn down by the steady erosion of shared purpose. That appears to be the posture of the union between Makeda Fulton and Jamar Fulton Sr., now before the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, where Makeda Fulton formally asked the court to dissolve the marriage on November 28, 2025.

The parties were married on July 7, 2017, in Kansas City, Missouri, a union that endured more than eight years before the separation that followed in late September 2025. In her petition, Makeda Fulton states that irreconcilable differences have led to an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, leaving no reasonable path toward reconciliation.

Proceeding through her counsel, Attorney Coreena L. Abernathy of Abernathy Law Firm, LLC, the petitioner outlines a comprehensive request for relief. She asks the court to enter a judgment dissolving the marriage and to bar any award of maintenance to either party. The petition further seeks sole legal and sole physical custody of the minor child, consistent with her proposed parenting plan, with visitation afforded to the respondent and her address designated for educational and mailing purposes.

In addition, Makeda Fulton requests an order establishing child support pursuant to Missouri guidelines, an equitable division of marital assets and debts, and the setting aside of each party’s non-marital property. She also asks that each party be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and that her maiden name, Lester, be restored. The petition concludes by requesting any further relief the court deems just and proper.
