For Amy Lynn Hall, the new year signals not fresh beginnings but the final unraveling of a marriage that began just a year and a half ago. On January 13, 2025, she filed a petition in Jackson County, Missouri, seeking the dissolution of her marriage to Kyle Joseph Pickett, citing an irretrievable breakdown.
Hall, a resident of Independence, Missouri, and Pickett, residing in DeSoto, Kansas, tied the knot on July 15, 2023. However, by mid-October 2023, the marriage had reached its breaking point, leading to their separation. In her filing, Hall asserts that no reconciliation is possible and requests an equitable division of their marital assets and debts. She also seeks to have each party retain their non-marital assets and asks the court to deny any request for spousal maintenance.
Additionally, Hall states that both parties should bear their own legal expenses unless Pickett unnecessarily prolongs the proceedings, in which case she reserves the right to seek reimbursement for her legal costs. She is represented by attorney Robert D. Murphy of Independence, Missouri.
With no children involved and no disputes over custody, the case hinges on the division of property and financial obligations. If both parties reach a settlement, the court may simply ratify their agreement. Otherwise, a judge will determine how to distribute their shared assets. What began as a hopeful union in the summer of 2023 now faces an inevitable legal conclusion in the courtroom.
