In Jackson County, Missouri, a significant development unfolds as Desmond Johnson files for the dissolution of his marriage to Kristy Johnson on December 6, 2023. The couple, who entered matrimony on February 18, 2017, is facing irreconcilable differences, leading Desmond to assert that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
The petition outlines Desmond’s prayers, which include a finding of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, a decree for dissolution, and a stipulation that neither party pays maintenance to the other. Additionally, the petition requests the set-aside of non-marital property to both Desmond and Kristy, the restoration of Kristy’s former name (Kristy Desh), and a declaration that neither party bears responsibility for the attorney’s fees or court costs of the other.
Angelo C. Banks, representing the petitioner, is identified as the attorney from Banks Law Firm, LLC.
Notably, the filing emphasizes that there are no children born of the marriage, leading to the inapplicability of requests for child support, sole responsibility of children, or parental decision-making. Neither party seeks maintenance, and the document clarifies that there are non-marital assets and debts that should be separately allocated to each party.
In the absence of a property settlement agreement, the filing specifies that Petitioner and Respondent have not acquired certain property and debts during the marriage. The petition underscores the importance of setting aside non-marital assets and debts to each party individually.
