In Kansas City, Hershell R. Cox has filed for the dissolution of his nearly 19-year marriage to Anna Lisa Cox, citing the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The petition, filed on October 16, 2024, in Jackson County, Missouri, requests that Hershell be awarded the marital home and all personal property currently in his possession, while the division of the couple’s debts be equitably distributed between them. According to court records, the couple separated earlier this year on January 6, 2024.
The petition highlights several key points, including that Hershell resides with the couple’s minor child, Alyssa M. Cox, born in 2008, at his home in Kansas City. The petitioner has requested joint legal and physical custody of Alyssa, suggesting that such an arrangement would best serve the child’s interests. He has also asked the court to order child support payments from Anna Lisa, who works as an on-call nurse and is deemed capable of providing financial support.
Both parties have waived requests for spousal maintenance, and they aim to keep their individual pensions or retirement accounts. The petition was filed by Hershell’s attorney, Reginald Keith Davis of Davis Law, LLC, based in Kansas City.
The Coxes were married on Christmas Day in 2005 and have built their lives in Jackson County. The breakdown of their marriage, as claimed by Hershell, has made reconciliation unlikely.
