On March 11, 2025, the curtain rose on a somber act in St. Louis City’s Circuit Court, where Latrice Rena Ledell filed to dissolve her marriage to John Devon Jones—a drama that began August 10, 2014, in the glitz of Clark County, Las Vegas. With Michael E. Doyel of the Law Office of Michael E. Doyel, LLC, scripting her case, Latrice steps into the spotlight, marking a separation that took hold August 1, 2021. The stage is bare—no children, no pregnancy, just two Missouri residents, each rooted here over ninety days, facing an irretrievable breakdown.
No military uniforms clutter this plot; it’s a straightforward tale of property—marital to split, separate to keep. Latrice doesn’t chase maintenance, nor does John dodge it; they’re both standing on their own. The script calls for an equitable carve-up of what they’ve amassed, a quiet denouement to a union that’s lost its spark.
This isn’t a blockbuster—it’s a minimalist two-hander, a study in endings, played out with precision and a touch of grace.
