In the Jackson County Circuit Court, Meshel Lynn Adams has formally petitioned for the dissolution of her 20-year marriage to John Stacey Adams, citing the irretrievable breakdown of their relationship. Married on April 24, 2004, in Kingsville, Missouri, the couple now shares a residence in Lee’s Summit but has been officially separated as of the petition filing on September 24, 2024. Represented by Larry S. Buccero of Buccero & VanFleet, LLC, Meshel seeks joint legal and physical custody of their three children, ages 19, 16, and 14, emphasizing that her home should serve as their official residence for schooling purposes.
Both Meshel and John possess non-marital property that they request be set aside separately, while marital property and obligations will be divided according to a potential Property Settlement Agreement. Meshel urges the court to enforce the maintenance of health benefits for their children and requests child support under Missouri law. Despite sharing responsibility for legal fees, Meshel asks the court to consider ordering John to cover additional costs if he unduly prolongs proceedings. Ultimately, Meshel seeks a fair resolution to their marital dissolution, ensuring her children’s best interests are protected.
