Tamra L. Huntsman filed a petition for dissolution of her marriage to Eric D. Huntsman in Jackson County, Missouri, on February 27, 2026. The couple was married on March 15, 2012, in Kansas City, Missouri, and separated earlier this year, on January 7, 2026. The petition details that there is one minor child from the marriage, who has resided with both parents since the separation and for at least six months prior to the filing. Missouri is identified as the child’s home state, and both parents are deemed fit and capable of joint legal and physical custody.
The filing outlines the division of marital property and debt. The petitioner requests that non-marital assets be allocated to each party as their separate property, and that the remaining marital assets and liabilities be divided equitably. Both parties are fully capable of supporting themselves, and the petition notes that no maintenance is requested for either party. The document further requests that the court assign each party responsibility for attorney fees and related costs, with a provision to hold the respondent accountable if litigation is intentionally prolonged.
Support for the minor child is addressed, with the petitioner asking the court to set a reasonable amount to be paid by the respondent. Petitioner’s address is designated as the child’s official address for mailing and educational purposes, and parenting time is to be allocated according to a proposed parenting plan. The filing stresses that both parties are self-sufficient and able-bodied.
This petition represents a procedural step in the orderly resolution of family matters through the judicial system. It illustrates the legal mechanisms designed to clarify custody, financial responsibility, and property rights, providing a framework for the parties to move forward with defined obligations and a formal structure for co-parenting.
