Sixteen years after their wedding in Caulfield, Missouri, Jane S. McMillen has moved to formally end her marriage with Jeffrey W. McMillen, citing the irretrievable breakdown of their relationship. The petition for dissolution of marriage, filed on September 18, 2024, in Jackson County’s 16th Circuit Court, Family Division, reflects a relationship that can no longer be preserved. Despite living under the same roof, the couple is living apart emotionally, with no children or further obligations tying them together.
Jane, represented by attorney Phillip J. Glorioso of Buccero and VanFleet, LLC, has asked the court to divide their marital assets and debts fairly, either through a property settlement agreement or, if necessary, a court-ordered division. Both parties are able to support themselves, removing the need for maintenance. Jane has requested to revert to her maiden name, Keeling, and proposes that each party bear their own legal costs, though she reserves the right to seek reimbursement if Jeffrey conceals assets or engages in misconduct that complicates the proceedings.
The petition underscores the finality of their separation, as Jane looks toward closing this chapter of their shared life with clarity and fairness, unburdened by lingering financial or emotional ties.
