On January 15, 2025, as the new year unfolded, Amy R. Limback filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Terry Limback in Jackson County, Missouri. Represented by attorney Grace E. Eagan of Fisher Law LLC, Amy’s petition marked the formal end of a union that began in Alma, Missouri, and was registered in Lafayette County. The couple, both residents of Missouri for over 90 days, had been separated since August 3, 2022, with Amy asserting that their marriage was “irretrievably broken” and beyond repair.

The petition detailed the division of marital property and debts, requesting a fair and equitable distribution. Notably, the couple had no minor children, and neither sought maintenance from the other. Amy also requested the restoration of her maiden name, Amy Ruth Gowen, emphasizing that the change was not for fraudulent purposes. The filing underscored the couple’s mutual independence, with each party responsible for their own legal fees unless litigation was prolonged.

The case, filed under the shadow of a new year, symbolized not just the end of a marriage but the beginning of a new chapter for both parties. Amy’s decision to reclaim her maiden name added a poignant touch to the proceedings, reflecting a desire to return to her roots and move forward unburdened by the past.
