Listen up, folks—Scott L. Jensen’s had enough. On March 13, 2025, he marched into Jackson County’s Circuit Court in Missouri, petition in hand, ready to ditch his marriage to Shannon A. Jensen. He’s got Joshua Erwin from Stange Law Firm, P.C., riding shotgun, and this isn’t some soft breakup—it’s a full-on dissolution of a union that kicked off July 18, 1999, in Lincoln, Nebraska. They split ways January 6, 2024, and Scott’s calling it: irretrievably broken, done, kaput.
They’ve got two kids, both over 18, emancipated, living with Shannon in Missouri for the last stretch. Scott’s in Nebraska now, but both have been state fixtures over ninety days—jurisdiction’s locked. No military ties, no pregnancy, just two adults staring down a pile of marital property and debts with no deal in sight. Scott wants it split fair, their separate stuff kept separate, and no maintenance—both can stand on their own, he says. But here’s the kicker: he’s strapped for cash to cover his legal tab, pointing at Shannon’s fat wallet to foot the bill.
This is a guy fed up, scraping by, asking the court to cut the cord and make her pay for the privilege.
