In Jackson County, Missouri, a marriage spanning over two decades is nearing its end as the petitioner, whose name remains undisclosed, filed for dissolution of marriage against her husband, Robin J. Umanzor, on October 16, 2024. Represented by attorney Megan M. Tunget of Legal Aid of Western Missouri, the petitioner seeks to terminate the marriage, citing irretrievable breakdown due to domestic violence.
The couple married on September 28, 2002, in Kansas City, Missouri, and separated on February 23, 2024. Four children were born to the marriage, ranging in age from eight to seventeen years old. The petitioner is seeking joint legal and sole physical custody of the children, pointing to Umanzor’s history of alcohol abuse and violent behavior as reasons for her custody request.
In addition to child custody, the petitioner is asking for child support and retroactive financial assistance from Umanzor. She also requests a fair division of marital property and debts. Her attorney has requested that the court recognize the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and waive all litigation fees, as the petitioner is financially unable to cover the costs.
