Emaree T. Salgado, a mother caught between the weight of her broken marriage and the reality of a child’s uncertain paternity, seeks to dissolve her union with Miguel A. Salgado. Her petition, filed on August 28, 2025, in Jackson County, Missouri, reveals a marriage that ended in May 2022, after nearly four years of marital life, compounded by the emotional complexities of three children, the youngest of whom, L.S.G., is not Miguel’s biological daughter. The true father, as Emaree asserts, is Roman Xavier Guerrero, her paramour.
Her petition, filed by Mark A. Wortman of the Law Offices of Mark A. Wortman, seeks a fair division of the marital property and debts, with an emphasis on securing joint legal and physical custody of the children. The issue of child support is to be calculated according to Missouri law. Emaree requests that her maiden name be restored, a symbol of her reclamation of self from the life she now wishes to leave behind. She also requests the Court’s declaration that Miguel is not L.S.G.’s biological father, an assertion that will redefine familial ties in the eyes of the law.
Amidst the procedural motions of custody and property division, Emaree’s petition echoes a deep desire for a new beginning—a chance to rebuild a life on her terms.
