Makila Burt has chosen to sever the ties of her nearly two-decade marriage to Bobby Burt, filing for dissolution on September 26, 2025. Their journey, which began with vows exchanged on May 13, 2006, in Kansas City, Missouri, has reached a poignant conclusion. Following their separation on July 10, 2025, both parties have come to the painful realization that their marriage is irretrievably broken.
Living under the same roof in Raytown, Missouri, the couple grapples with the complexities of shared life while acknowledging the inevitability of their split. Makila’s petition, filed with the guidance of attorney Jane McQueeny from The McQueeny Law Firm, outlines their desire for joint legal and physical custody of their child, signaling a commitment to co-parenting amidst the emotional turmoil.
Neither Makila nor Bobby is seeking maintenance, asserting their independence and ability to support themselves. They request an equitable division of their marital assets and debts, reflecting a pragmatic approach to the dissolution process. As they navigate this challenging transition, the court will ultimately determine the best path forward for their family, ensuring that the welfare of their child remains at the forefront of their decisions. This chapter may be closing, but the story of their shared life continues as they forge a new path apart.
