On August 8, 2025, a petition was placed before the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, that sought to dissolve the marriage of Liubov Salas and Taylor Enrique Salas. The filing came through her attorney, Kara E. Key of The Roffmann Law Office, LLC, marking a turning point in a union that began far from Missouri, in Lviv, Ukraine, on August 1, 2018.
The document tells a stripped-down story of rupture. Liubov, still rooted in Jackson County, traces the separation back to July 14, 2024, a date that signaled the unraveling of a partnership once formalized on two continents. The petition records no children born of the marriage, no pregnancies, no military service entanglements—just two adults, both over eighteen, whose lives have shifted away from one another.
The reason is stated with bureaucratic finality: the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” In those three words, years of distance, dissonance, and disappointment are compressed.
What remains for the court is the pragmatic division of property and debts—some marital, some separate. Each is declared capable of supporting themselves. Neither seeks maintenance. Each is asked to bear the cost of their own counsel, though Liubov requests that Taylor cover the costs of the action and contribute toward her attorney’s fees.
It is a quiet petition, one that offers no drama, only the sober recognition that a chapter has ended. The marriage that began with ceremony in Ukraine and registration in the United States now stands at its conclusion in a Kansas City courtroom.
