In a quiet courtroom in Jackson County, Missouri, a marriage that had once begun with promise now stands at a formal end. On April 23, 2025, Dwayne Love filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Johnetta L. Love, marking the final legal step in a separation that had lingered since September 2020. Represented by attorney Jill K. Turner of the Law Office of Jill Turner, LLC, Mr. Love sets forth a narrative of a marriage fractured by irreconcilable differences—differences he believes have led to an irretrievable breakdown.
The couple was married on June 19, 2016, in Kansas City, Kansas, and their union produced two minor children who now reside with both parents under the same roof. Mr. Love has asked the court to approve a Parenting Plan that grants joint legal and physical custody, with his address designated for educational and mailing purposes. In his petition, he affirms that both he and Ms. Love are fit to share in the upbringing of their children and seeks child support in accordance with Missouri’s guidelines.
As for their assets, he has requested an equitable division of marital property and debts, with separate properties to be set aside for each. No spousal maintenance is sought by either party. However, should litigation take a costly turn due to misconduct, Mr. Love reserves the right to seek attorney’s fees.
In this procedural yet deeply personal filing, a family begins the legal untangling of their shared past, seeking structure in what remains—for their children, for themselves, and for the future they will now navigate apart.
