Lynton L. Hughley, Jr. has initiated divorce proceedings against Nicole D. Lurks in Jackson County, Missouri. The petition, filed on July 19, 2024, marks the official end to a marriage that began on June 14, 2016, in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The couple, now separated since October 24, 2023, has no children together, and Lurks is not pregnant.
Hughley, represented by Jessica N. Foxx of Foxx Law, L.L.C., seeks a dissolution of the marriage on the grounds that it is irretrievably broken, with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. Both parties, who have lived in Missouri for over 90 days preceding the petition, are financially independent and not seeking maintenance from each other.
In the filing, Hughley requests an equitable distribution of marital assets and debts. Should the parties agree on a Marital Settlement Agreement before the hearing, he asks for its approval. The petition also includes provisions to ensure that neither party terminates health insurance coverage during the proceeding and addresses potential attorney’s fees.
Hughley has emphasized the need for a fair division of property and debts, with each party retaining their non-marital assets. The case is now under the purview of the Jackson County Circuit Court, with further proceedings expected to address these matters in due course.
