The filing of a petition for the dissolution of marriage between Aaron Murray and Carletta Jean-Cornwell Murray in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, on June 10, 2024, marks a significant chapter in their union. Married on August 24, 2006, in Johnson County, Kansas, their marriage spanned nearly eighteen years. The separation began on November 25, 2023. Aaron Murray, represented by attorneys Shea Stevens and Michaela Marine of Shea Stevens Law, LLC, cites that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no reasonable likelihood of preservation.
The couple shares a nine-year-old child, who has resided with both parents in Missouri continuously for the past six months. The petitioner asserts that joint legal and physical custody is in the best interest of the child, with child support to be calculated according to Missouri law. Neither party is involved in other custody litigation, and there are no third-party claims to custody or visitation rights.
Aaron Murray emphasizes that both he and Carletta Jean-Cornwell Murray are self-sufficient, negating the need for spousal maintenance. The division of marital and separate property, along with the marital debts, is requested to be fair and equitable. The petitioner also requests that each party be responsible for their own attorney’s fees, as both have sufficient income and assets to cover their legal costs.
Additionally, both parties are over eighteen and neither is serving in the military. The filing concludes with a request for the court to dissolve the marriage, determine custody arrangements, and equitably divide property and debts, ensuring that no maintenance is awarded to either party.
