In the circuit corridors of Jackson County, Missouri, another union now awaits the stamp of finality. On April 18, 2025, Monica Carter, through her attorney Kelisen R. Binder of The Binder Firm, filed a petition to dissolve her marriage to Jason Carter. The couple, once joined in a lawful union, has now lived apart since an unspecified separation date, a quiet unraveling marked by irreconcilable differences that Monica contends have rendered the marriage irretrievably broken.
In the filing, Monica asserts her independence—financially and otherwise. She makes no request for maintenance and states unequivocally that neither she nor Jason requires spousal support. Both, she claims, are capable of self-sufficiency. The matter of property and debt division remains unresolved; however, Monica signals that a settlement could be submitted to the Court if reached mutually. Absent that, she requests equitable distribution by judicial decree.
There are no children at issue, no pregnancy to consider, and neither party holds military duty. The tone of the petition is pragmatic, not punitive. While she reserves the right to seek attorney’s fees should litigation misconduct arise, Monica does not presently ask the Court to assign legal costs to Jason.
What remains now is for the Court to grant what the petition seeks: a legal conclusion to a personal history once written in tandem.
