So, Jenny Meyer and Ryan Meyer had a marriage. It started July 7, 2007, in Jamaica. They probably thought it would last longer than most things—cars, appliances, maybe even a roof. But on February 21, 2025, they split. That’s the date Jenny marked as the end, and on September 24, 2025, she filed papers in Jackson County, Missouri, asking the court to make the ending official.
Jenny hired attorney Joshua T. Mathews of The Mathews Group, L.C., to write the magic words. The petition says the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” That’s the phrase. It means there’s no going back, no sequel, no reunion tour. Irreconcilable differences have eaten whatever glue once held them together.
There are no kids. That makes it easier, in theory. No custody schedules, no child support. Just property and debts—things they bought, bills they racked up, and the question of who walks away with what. Jenny wants the court to divide it all fairly, give each of them their separate property, and tell both sides to cover their own legal bills. Neither party is asking for maintenance, which sounds noble, or maybe just practical.
The petition even says neither Jenny nor Ryan can cancel the other’s insurance while this is going on. Even in endings, there are rules. The rest is paperwork, hearings, signatures, and stamps.
And so, a marriage that once crossed borders to begin is now neatly boxed up in Missouri, reduced to filings, case numbers, and the sterile promise of equitable division.
