In a filing that’s as full of twists and turns as a well-wrung mop, on September 9, 2023, the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, bore witness to the unfolding drama between Angel Mario Sandoval Valenzuela and Maria Del Carmen Sandoval Briones. The stage was set for a marriage dissolution like no other, with the protagonist, Angel Mario Sandoval Valenzuela, retaining the services of the legal maestro, Attorney Mario J. Moore.

This legal tango played out in the heart of Kansas City, where both Angel Mario Sandoval Valenzuela and Maria Del Carmen Sandoval Briones called home during their married life. The petitioner had been scrubbing away in Platte County, Missouri, for over ninety days before deciding to wield the divorce broom. Both parties had reached the age of adulthood, with neither having military ties.

What makes this divorce different from the run-of-the-mill breakups is their shared career in the house cleaning business. They were partners in life and business, embarking on their journey together in marriage on October 24, 2009, in Johnson County, Kansas.

Their union had spiraled into separation in September 2020, leaving them with the challenge of untangling their shared life. The only innocent bystander in this soapy saga, their child, had reached legal maturity, and Maria Del Carmen Sandoval Briones was not expecting any additional bundles of joy.

In a surprising twist, Angel Mario Sandoval Valenzuela and Maria Del Carmen Sandoval Briones had already agreed upon property division and debt settlement, each opting to bear their financial burdens separately. The marriage, in their eyes, was irretrievably broken, and neither party sought financial support from the other.

Angel Mario Sandoval Valenzuela, with Attorney Mario J. Moore as his legal wingman, embarked on a quest for the dissolution of the marriage. Their battle plan included incorporating any property settlements into the court’s judgment and ensuring that these agreements were fair and just. The petitioner also sought to have each party cover their own legal fees while leaving room for the court to pass judgment as it saw fit.

As the proceedings continue, the Jackson County courtroom remains a theatre for the drama of two house-cleaning entrepreneurs seeking a fresh start, with Attorney Mario J. Moore orchestrating the legal symphony.
