In a petition lodged with the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, Anna Schrock has asked the court to dissolve her marriage to Taylor Cochran, setting in motion proceedings that were formally filed in February 2026. The case, assigned in Jackson County, identifies Schrock as a bona fide Missouri resident of more than sixty days and Cochran as a resident of Kansas.

The parties were married on October 31, 2019, in Nashville, Tennessee, and separated in November 2023. The petition states that they are incompatible and that Schrock is entitled to a decree of divorce on that ground. No children were born of the marriage. Neither party is a member of the armed forces, and Schrock affirms that she is not pregnant.

Court papers further assert that during the marriage the parties accumulated property and incurred debts in various forms of ownership, all of which, Schrock contends, should be divided equitably. The petition seeks restoration of premarital property to each party and requests that both be restrained from disposing of assets or altering credit arrangements beyond what is reasonably necessary during the pendency of the case. It also asks that the parties be restrained from harassing or hindering one another.

The filing asks the court to grant a judgment of divorce and to ensure that any marital settlement agreement is not unconscionable before incorporation into a final decree. In February, as the early months of the year often bring formal reckonings of private arrangements, the petition places these matters before the court, where process and statute, rather than sentiment, will determine how the marriage is concluded.
