In Jackson County, Missouri, Robin L. West filed a petition for the dissolution of her marriage to Edgar Nicolaisen on July 29, 2024. The couple, who tied the knot on October 1, 2021, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, had been separated since March 1, 2022. Represented by attorney Troy Leavitt of Troy J. Leavitt Law Firm, LLC, Robin’s petition details the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage.
Robin and Edgar, both Missouri residents, had no children together. Robin works at Family Health and Wellness, while Edgar is self-employed. The couple has accumulated both marital property and debts, which Robin requested the court to divide fairly. Both parties own non-material assets, which Robin asked to be set aside as separate property under Missouri law.
Robin asserted that neither she nor Edgar needed maintenance, given their capability to support themselves. The petition also noted that both parties would bear their own attorney’s fees unless Edgar unnecessarily extended the litigation, in which case Robin reserved the right to seek attorney’s fees from him.
The petition also confirmed compliance with Supreme Court Rule 17, regarding notice of dispute resolution services. Robin’s filing aims for an equitable resolution to their financial entanglements, seeking a fair and just conclusion to their brief but legally significant union.
