On August 5, 2025, in the halls of Jackson County’s circuit court, George E. Mosley Jr. put pen to paper — or rather, entrusted the pen to his attorney, Donald L. Davis of Davis Attorneys, Kansas City — and filed for the dissolution of a marriage that had lived far longer in memory than in daily practice. The paperwork was tidy, almost surgically neat: no children to account for, no property to divide, no maintenance sought by either party.
George and Kathy Denise Mosley had married on October 8, 1999, in Kansas City, Missouri. Nearly two decades later, in February 2018, the life they shared fractured. They went their separate ways, the marriage still breathing legally but hollow in practice, like a clock left unwound on a mantel.
The petition tells it plainly: irreconcilable differences, the marriage irretrievably broken, no reasonable chance of preservation. It reads like a diagnosis without treatment options. The court is asked for a clean cut — a dissolution, final and without complication.
The lack of contested assets or custody turns this into a quiet proceeding, though the silence carries weight. Years of shared history collapse into a few numbered paragraphs, notarized and signed, moving from the private realm of two people to the public record of a county court. What began in vows before friends and family will now end in the clipped, formal language of legal procedure, awaiting only the judge’s signature to make it so.
