In the Family Court of Jackson County, the long marriage of Yamone Titsworth and Floyd J. Titsworth has come to its quiet undoing. On August 8, 2025, Yamone filed her petition for dissolution in Kansas City, her attorney Carl W. Bussey of Bussey Law carrying the words into formal shape.
They had wed in Las Vegas on October 7, 2009—a ceremony wrapped in desert lights and the promise of permanence. But the separation came years later, in 2018, leaving the years between like a field gone fallow, marked by absence rather than growth. The marriage produced one child, now grown and emancipated, a reminder that the bonds of family linger even after vows fail.
Yamone asks the court to dissolve the union, restore her maiden name of Rashaw, and allow each party to keep the property in their possession, including accounts and pensions. The marital home, she states, should be set aside to Floyd. There are no marital debts, no calls for maintenance, no children needing custody orders. What remains is the acknowledgment that the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” with no hope of revival.
The language of the petition is plain, almost spare, yet in its spareness lies a finality—like a door closing on a house long emptied. On paper, it is simply division of property, restoration of a name, and the assessment of costs. Beneath that paper is the end of a story that began in Nevada sixteen years ago, now finished in a Missouri courtroom.
