In the quiet disassembling of a marriage that once held steady for over a decade, Darrion F. Clark took legal steps to dissolve his union with Jennifer R. Clark, citing an irretrievable breakdown in their relationship. The couple was married on November 2, 2013, in Kansas City, and physically separated on or around January 1, 2025. With the filing of his Petition for Dissolution of Marriage on May 5, 2025, Darrion, represented by attorney Jessica R. Langley of Berkowitz Cook Gondring Driskell & Drobeck, LLC, initiated the process of legally ending a relationship that has spanned nearly 12 years.
Darrion’s petition outlines a request for joint legal and joint physical custody of the couple’s three minor children, with Jennifer’s residence designated as the primary address for educational and mailing purposes. He pledges to submit a proposed parenting plan and asserts that both parents are capable of supporting themselves without maintenance. The petition also asks the court to divide marital property and debts equitably, or to approve any mutual agreement reached before trial.
While neither party is currently on active military duty, both are employed and presumed able to contribute to the financial support of their children. The petition calls for standard child support arrangements under Missouri law and seeks to preserve health and dental coverage for all parties during the proceedings. Darrion reserves the right to request attorney fees should Jennifer intentionally delay the case. What remains now is the court’s response to a carefully structured plea to bring clarity to a shared but no longer sustainable life.
