The new year had barely settled in when Molly N. Clubine decided it was time to break from the past. On January 14, 2025, she strode into the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, petition in hand, ready to end her 22-year marriage to Donald W. Clubine. Her attorney, Samantha I. Sader of Krigel Nugent + Moore, P.C., filed the paperwork, making it official: irreconcilable differences had left the marriage irretrievably broken. There would be no turning back.
Molly and Donald, once a couple bound by vows exchanged on a summer day in July 2002 in Stevenson, Washington, had reached the point where the years behind them no longer justified staying together. They had no children, no military entanglements, no illusions. The separation had already taken place by the time the petition hit the docket, and Molly made it clear—there was nothing left to salvage.
The division of assets loomed. Marital property and debts needed sorting, but neither party, according to Molly’s petition, required maintenance. She stated they had the means to support themselves and asked the court to ensure a fair split of their accumulated assets. As for attorney’s fees, she was willing to cover her own—unless Donald chose to complicate matters unnecessarily. Then, she would reconsider.
Now, with the legal gears in motion, the final chapter of their marriage was unfolding in the halls of Jackson County’s courthouse. The beginning of a new year marked the beginning of an end.
