Some stories of union begin in earnest, only to drift, unmoored, toward a quiet end. On April 24, 2025, Sara L. Fohn petitioned the 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, seeking the dissolution of her marriage to Curtis A. Fohn, citing that their bond was irretrievably broken. Represented by attorney Mark A. Wortman of The Mark Wortman Law Firm LC, Sara moved to formally end a marriage that began with promise on May 22, 2004, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
The couple’s separation had already taken root earlier this year, on February 16, 2025, a prelude to the official action now unfolding in Independence. Their shared years yielded two children, a daughter aged 16 and a son aged 13, both of whom remain under Sara’s care in Missouri. The state, with its jurisdiction firmly established, will continue to serve as the center of their children’s stability and upbringing.
What sets this case apart is its tone of resolution rather than conflict. Sara and Curtis have already forged a Marital Settlement Agreement and a Stipulated Parenting Plan, signaling an intention to divide their lives with a measure of dignity and foresight. Sara requests that the court uphold these agreements as fair, equitable, and in the best interests of their children. In a world where discord often defines such filings, theirs appears to seek something quieter: an ending shaped by consent, rather than contest.
