In Jackson County, Missouri, Jessica Marie Fisher has chosen to speak through the quiet authority of a petition—a document filed on October 29, 2025 that signals the unraveling of her marriage to Matthew Lyle Jackson. What emerges is not an acrimonious account, but a deliberate, almost procedural portrait of two people who have decided that what once bound them cannot be restored. Represented by Maggie L. Anderson of The Law Office of Maggie L. Anderson, LLC, Jessica asserts that their marriage, solemnized in Kansas City on September 16, 2017, and separated since May 2025, is irretrievably broken.
The couple, who adopted two children during their eight-year union, have already divided what could be divided: property, debts, and the fragile details of shared responsibility. Jessica asks the court to approve their Separation and Property Settlement Agreement and their Joint Parenting Plan, both negotiated in recognition that the children’s stability depends on cooperation, not conflict. She seeks joint legal and joint physical custody, with her address to serve as the children’s residence for educational and mailing purposes, and requests that child support be determined under Missouri’s statutory guidelines.
Her prayers are precise: dissolution of marriage; no maintenance to either party; approval of the parties’ financial and custodial agreements; and, if the case should be prolonged unnecessarily, reimbursement of attorney’s fees. Beneath the formal petitions, there is a tone of resignation softened by care—a recognition that while love may falter, the duty to remain decent, especially for the children, endures.
