In the quiet precision of legal documents, something fragile flickers—a life once shared, now dismantled with deliberation. On May 21, 2025, Alivia Ann Thomas-Rich filed for dissolution of her nearly nine-year marriage to Aramis Tyrone Thomas-Rich in the 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri. What was once a union begun in the humid August warmth of Atlanta in 2016 had unraveled slowly and in silence, ending not in conflict, but in separation six years later, in May 2019.
No children tether the pair to shared futures. Their paths had already forked—Alivia, a veteran of the Army National Guard, rooted in Kansas City, Missouri; Aramis, employed and living hundreds of miles away in Hampton, Georgia. The marriage, she says, is irretrievably broken.
Rather than fighting over remnants, both parties chose resolution. A Marital Settlement Agreement has already been reached, and Alivia, through her attorney Mark A. Wortman of Mark A. Wortman, Attorney at Law LC, requests the court to affirm its fairness. There’s a tone of finality in the filing, but not bitterness—only the quiet, procedural closure of a bond worn thin by years and distance.
There is no request for maintenance, no mention of disputes. Just a petition for the court to acknowledge what has long been lived: the end of something once meant to endure.
