In a decisive move on October 6, 2023, Marie K. Zombo, a resident of Jackson County, Missouri, has filed for marriage dissolution from her spouse, Francis M. Zombo, who resides in Sierra Leone, Africa. The union, which began on August 19, 2016, is now deemed irretrievably broken, with no likelihood of preservation. Notably, the couple does not have any children from the marriage, making the dissolution process relatively straightforward.

Marie K. Zombo, represented by attorney Daniel C. Hall from the firm Aldridge & Hall, has outlined her prayers to the court. These include the dissolution of the marriage, along with the directive that each party retains personal property currently in their possession as their sole and separate property. Additionally, she is open to any other orders that the court deems just and proper.

The filing also indicates a distinct absence of marital property or debt to be divided, as well as no children born or adopted during the marriage. Marie Zombo’s intention to expedite the process, seeking affidavit-based dissolution without the need for a formal hearing, demonstrates a determined approach to moving forward. This legal step represents a significant turning point in the lives of the parties involved, emphasizing the practicality and clarity sought in their dissolution proceedings.
