In the petition filed on June 6, 2024, in Jackson County, Missouri, Jami S. Krause, represented by attorney Tyler J. Jansen, formally requests the dissolution of her marriage to Jordan D. Krause. Both parties, residents of Missouri for over eight years, have lived in Jackson County for the same duration. The marriage, solemnized on an unspecified date, recently reached a critical juncture, leading to their separation.

Jami Krause’s petition articulates a life intertwined with Jordan Krause, marked by the birth of two children, who now reside with her. The narrative carefully constructs the setting in Missouri, asserting jurisdiction based on the children’s continuous residence over the past six months. This foundational detail underscores the legal landscape within which this personal drama unfolds.

The petition reveals an agreement on the children’s custody, visitation, and support, avoiding the complexities of contested litigation. Both Jami and Jordan Krause are described as capable of self-support, obviating the need for spousal maintenance. The petitioner’s assertion of the marriage’s irretrievable breakdown, with no possibility of reconciliation, encapsulates the emotional and legal finality sought.

Further, the document addresses the division of marital property and debts, requesting the court to scrutinize any Marital Settlement Agreement for fairness. In the absence of such an agreement, it appeals for an equitable distribution of assets and liabilities. The petitioner also seeks the court’s intervention for attorney’s fees if the respondent fails to settle amicably or prolongs the proceedings. This petition, therefore, not only seeks to dissolve a marriage but also to navigate the aftermath with a semblance of order and justice.
