In the heart of Independence, Missouri, the dissolution of McCartney Q. Payton and Daniel C. Segalo’s union, filed on September 20, 2023, is underway. McCartney, a resident of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and Daniel, a resident of the same, find themselves at a crossroads. The couple, wedded on July 13, 2019, in Fairplay, Colorado, saw their marital bonds fray, and as of May 1, 2023, they no longer share a residence.

Their union, unadorned by children, faces its final chapter. Neither party serves in the armed forces, and the prospect of reconciliation seems distant due to being “irretrievably broken”. Assets and livelihoods appear sufficient, negating the need for maintenance.

Philip O. Willoughby, representing McCartney, seeks a just division of property and liabilities, distinguishing between marital and non-marital assets and awarding him reasonable attorney fees. The plea is signed and sworn by McCartney Q. Payton, her resolve evident in the inked signature.

As the case unfolds in Jackson County, Missouri, the court is tasked with untangling the threads of their shared existence, guided by the experienced hand of Gunn, Shank & Stover.
