In the parched heat of Jackson County’s courthouse, where the law’s stern hand carves through tangled lives, Alicia Orthel came forward on July 31, 2025, to cast off the weight of her marriage to Robert Orthel. Joined on October 5, 2019, in Lenexa’s fleeting hope, their union broke apart by May 15, 2025, the rift widened by irreconcilable differences, their home divided since July 19, 2024. With Justin M. Crozier of Crozier Law, LLC, Alicia seeks not just dissolution but the return of her name, Alicia Flowers, a banner of her own making.
No children bind their past, no shared blood calls for care. Their lives, once knotted, hold only non-marital property and debts, each to be set aside to its rightful owner. The marital assets and obligations, sparse as they are, await a fair division, the court’s judgment to ensure no injustice prevails. Both stand able, employed, and unyielding, neither seeking maintenance nor burdened by want. Each will bear their own legal costs, a pact of self-reliance.
In the courthouse’s unsparing light, Alicia’s plea cuts sharp: dissolve the bond, divide the remnants, restore her name. The judge, poised above the papers, must trace the fault lines of their years, granting freedom unencumbered by the past. In Jackson County’s hard embrace, where promises wither, the law will render its decree, setting Alicia and Robert free to walk their separate roads.
