Allyson Danielle Kraus walked into the courtroom, her resolve firm as the petition for dissolution of marriage was filed on August 29, 2024, in Jackson County, Missouri. She’d been married to Desi Ray Kraus since August 31, 2019, but the union had deteriorated to the point where reconciliation was no longer an option. They lived under the same roof but were worlds apart.
Allyson sought joint legal and physical custody of their only child, who was born during their short-lived marriage. Her petition, backed by her attorneys Kimberly J. Hatch and Nathalie C. Elliott of Levy Craig Law Firm, a Professional Corporation, laid out a clear request for an equitable division of their property and debts. She wanted no spousal maintenance and aimed to ensure the child’s best interests were paramount.
She knew the battle ahead might not be easy. If Desi decided to drag out the litigation, she’d ask the court to make him pay for it—literally. But for now, she was ready to move forward, asking the court to recognize the end of her marriage and to grant her the freedom to build a new life, with the well-being of her child at the forefront.
