In the heart of Jackson County, Missouri, a union once celebrated has reached a crossroads as Eric Michael Shelton seeks to dissolve his marriage to Melissa Ann Shelton. Filed on January 16, 2024, this petition unfolds without blame, citing irretrievable brokenness as the cause for parting ways.
The couple, without children born of their marriage, navigates the legal intricacies of division. The petitioner, represented by Geoffrey K. Aubrey from The Reynolds Law Firm, LLC, petitions for a Decree of Dissolution of Marriage. The battleground extends to the division of marital property and debts, with a call to honor each party’s non-marital assets.
In a move echoing the spirit of equality, the petitioner determines that neither party shall be awarded maintenance. Attorney’s fees, an often contentious point, find their place in the petition, seeking a fair resolution in favor of the petitioner against the respondent.
The absence of children from the union simplifies certain aspects, as neither child support nor sole responsibility for children is applicable. Parental decision-making becomes a moot point in this context.
As the legal journey commences, the petition serves as a document of parting wishes. Beyond the cold legalese, it seeks orders, judgments, and decrees deemed just and proper by the Court, giving a human touch to the formal process.
