In Jackson County, Missouri, Alycia L. Conrad has turned the final page of a decade-long marriage. Her petition for dissolution, filed on October 20, 2025, speaks in the solemn language of endings—the kind where distance and disillusion replace the hope once born in Fulton, Boone County, on August 8, 2015. Through her attorney Ezinne G. Okorocha of Stange Law Firm, P.C., Alycia seeks the court’s recognition that the marriage to Joshua D. Conrad is irretrievably broken, that what was once shared has become unlivable.
There are no children to tether the two together, no shared claim of dependency. Yet Alycia asks for what she calls supplemental maintenance, not as support for herself, but to ensure that the debts accumulated during their marriage are secured and settled. She asserts that both she and Joshua are able-bodied and capable of sustaining themselves—but that fairness demands equity, not abandonment.
The petition prays that each party bear their own attorney’s fees unless Joshua prolongs the litigation; that the court approve any Marital Settlement Agreement, or in its absence, divide their marital property and debts in a fair and equitable manner; that each retain their non-marital assets; and that Alycia’s maiden name, Camoriano, be restored.
Her words are measured, procedural—but beneath them, one hears the quiet insistence of dignity. That even in dissolution, there is a demand for respect. That even as a marriage falls apart, a woman may reclaim the fullness of her name, her independence, and the steadiness of her own story.
