Cassandra Kincaid submitted her petition for dissolution of marriage in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, filing under case number 2616-FC02476 on April 1, 2026. She and Scott Chilcutt were married on June 15, 2002, and formally separated on or about June 26, 2025. The petition asserts that irreconcilable differences have rendered the marriage irretrievably broken. Both parties are residents of Missouri and over the age of eighteen, and neither is currently serving in the armed forces.
The petition identifies two children born of the marriage, now nineteen and sixteen years old, and acknowledges that neither party is currently pregnant. Kincaid requests the court to establish joint legal and physical custody, designating her address for educational and mailing purposes. She also seeks allocation of child-related expenses, including medical, dental, orthodontic, and college costs, to be shared proportionally according to each party’s financial ability.
Property and financial matters are detailed, with marital and non-marital assets to be divided equitably. The petition specifies that both parties are capable of supporting themselves and should bear responsibility for their own attorney’s fees, reserving Kincaid’s right to seek fees if litigation is unnecessarily prolonged by Chilcutt. Maintenance between the parties is explicitly waived.
The filing represents a methodical approach to concluding the legal and financial entanglements of a long-standing marriage. By codifying custody, support, and property arrangements, the court will provide a structured framework for adjustment and accountability, setting clear expectations as the parties move forward independently.
