In the heart of Jackson County, Missouri, a marital chapter that commenced on August 3, 2021, is now facing its final verses. Mackenzie Jo Clifford, the petitioner, filed for divorce on September 11, 2023, seeking the dissolution of her union with Damon Daniel Clifford. While the reasons behind this divorce remain a well-guarded secret, the legal document asserts, “There is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage of Petitioner and Respondent can be preserved. Therefore, the marriage is irretrievably broken.”

This dissolution drama carries no traces of children, as the couple never welcomed any into their lives. Notably, neither party is seeking child support, sole responsibility of children, or parental decision-making. Financially self-sufficient, they have no need for maintenance, as explicitly stated in the document.

Mackenzie Jo Clifford’s entreaties to the court are straightforward yet poignant. She seeks the formal dissolution of the marriage, entreats the court to bless any Marital Settlement Agreement that may exist, or in the absence of one, to ensure an equitable division of property. Additionally, she yearns for her former name, Mackenzie Jo Blair, to be restored, leaving the door ajar for any other relief the court deems just and proper.

The legal voice representing Mackenzie Jo Clifford in this unfolding drama belongs to Shanna Jacoby from Jacoby Law Firm LLC. As the curtain rises on this divorce saga in Jackson County, Missouri, the undisclosed details of marital and non-marital properties and their desired resolutions shroud this chapter in a veil of mystery.
