In the halls of Jackson County’s Family Court, the wheels of matrimonial justice grind on, this time under the flag of disillusionment and severed ties. Shauna K. Allen, a resident of Blue Springs, Missouri, has petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage to Brett A. Cunningham. The couple, who once exchanged vows on April 4, 2016, in Bandera County, Texas, now find themselves separated by an unbridgeable chasm since July 22, 2021.
The petition, filed on August 29, 2024, lays bare the stark reality that the union is beyond repair. The marriage, declared as irretrievably broken, carries the echoes of a partnership that once was, now reduced to a legal dispute over property and debts. Both parties, neither of whom serve in the Armed Forces nor require maintenance, are deemed capable of supporting themselves, though they now seek a fair and equitable division of their marital assets and liabilities.
Represented by Troy J. Leavitt of the Troy J. Leavitt Law Firm, LLC, Shauna Allen requests that the court dissolve the marriage, allocate property equitably, and dismiss any possibility of maintenance for either party. The plea for legal separation is absent here; instead, it is a call for finality, for the closing of a chapter that no longer serves its authors.
