The beginning of the year carries with it the promise of new beginnings. But for Tamisha Hollis, that promise is wrapped in a bitter, final farewell. On January 15, 2026, she filed a petition for divorce from Rickey Allen Hollis in Jackson County, Missouri, seeking to sever a marriage that had ended in silence a year earlier. Their separation, occurring in May 2025, was followed by a legal reckoning. The couple’s union, forged in 2023, had not borne children, but the ties they shared—marital property, debts, and unresolved questions of custody—are now at the heart of their dissolution.
Represented by David Wylie and Josiah Harper, Tamisha is asking for joint physical custody of their two children, with sole legal custody awarded to her. She seeks to have the court approve her parenting plan, crafted with the children’s best interests in mind. In addition, she requests that Rickey pay child support, retroactive to the date of the petition’s filing, and to cover her attorney’s fees.
This is no simple petition—it is a plea for closure, for fairness in the division of property, and for a decisive end to a marriage already laid to rest. As the calendar turns, the court’s judgment will bring the resolution Tamisha seeks: the division of their shared past, and a move forward that is hers alone.
