In a courtroom shadowed by the weight of history, Kimberly Allen-Moorefield’s voice reverberates with the poignant echoes of her past. Her petition, meticulously laid out by her attorney Beth A. Lewandowski from The Center for Family Law, tells a story of a marriage that once held promise but now lies fractured beyond repair. Kimberly, a resident of St. Louis City, invokes the law’s solemnity to dissolve her union with William E. Moorefield, a man who, like her, has called Missouri home for more than ninety days.
Their journey began on a summer day in July 2019, in Salem, Illinois. Yet, the warmth of that day contrasts starkly with the cold reality they face today, as their paths diverged in November 2023. No children tie them together, and Kimberly, not pregnant, seeks not just an end to their marriage but a restoration of her former self, requesting her maiden name, Kimberly Ann Allen.
Kimberly stands in the court’s hallowed halls, financially strained, pleading for fair division of their shared property and debts. Her words carry the weight of desperation as she asks for the respondent to cover her attorney fees, pointing to William’s substantial employment and financial stability. She paints a picture of inequity, where her resources fall short against the legal costs that mount with each passing day.
Her declaration rings with finality: the marriage is irretrievably broken. She petitions the court not only to sever the legal bond but to restore her to her original name, free from the shadows of a relationship that no longer holds her. Her plea is not just for dissolution but for a rebirth, to step out of the courthouse with a new sense of self, unburdened by the past.
