In the quiet corridors of Jackson County’s 16th Circuit Court, Madalynn M. Kelley formally sought the dissolution of her marriage to Kanyon B. Kelley on May 9, 2025. Their union, forged in Leavenworth, Kansas, on October 10, 2020, has unraveled irretrievably after just over four years. Madalynn, represented by attorney Mark A. Wortman of Wortman Law LC in Kansas City, stands firm in her resolve to dissolve what she acknowledges as a marriage beyond repair.
The couple’s lives have been deeply intertwined with Jackson County, Missouri, their home for the past months and the legal stage for this separation. Together, they share two daughters: one born prior to their marriage and another born during it. Custody and care have been thoughtfully arranged in a stipulated parenting plan, which Madalynn requests the court to endorse as serving the best interests of their children.
Property matters have not been neglected; a marital settlement agreement, crafted and agreed upon, awaits judicial approval. Madalynn insists the agreement is fair and equitable, ensuring a just division of assets and debts accrued during their years together. Neither party holds ties to the armed forces, simplifying this particular chapter of the legal process.
As the court considers the petition, the underlying reality remains — the marriage is beyond mending, and the formal conclusion now hinges on the court’s validation of their agreements and the future welfare of their children.
