The marriage of Jimmy Gerardo Amaya Morales and Heidy Faviola Rivera Trejo, once bound by vows exchanged on August 1, 2014, in Honduras, now stands at an unbridgeable divide. On March 5, 2025, Morales formally petitioned the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, seeking the dissolution of their marriage, citing irretrievable breakdown. He is represented by attorney Eric Gamble of Gamble Law LLC.

The couple has three children, two of whom were born before their union. Morales’ petition not only requests the dissolution of the marriage but also urges the court to grant both parents joint legal and joint physical custody, with Trejo’s residence designated for educational and mailing purposes. He asks the court to acknowledge any existing custody agreements between them or to approve his proposed parenting plan. Furthermore, Morales requests a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts.

In his petition, Morales states that neither party requires spousal support, but he asks the court to determine child support obligations in accordance with Missouri Supreme Court Rule 88.01 and Form 14. His filing asserts that their children lack sufficient resources for their care and welfare, necessitating court-ordered financial support.

What was once a shared home in Missouri is now a legal battleground over custody and financial responsibilities. The petition signals an attempt at structured closure—one that Morales hopes will offer stability to the children caught in the middle of a fractured marriage. The court’s decision will ultimately shape how the family moves forward, divided but still linked by parental ties.
