The marriage of James Fredrick Anderson and Rebecca L. Enlow, once bound by the quiet rituals of domestic life, has now arrived at a formal unraveling. On February 28, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, Anderson filed a petition for dissolution, a document that carries the weight of finality even in its legal sterility. Behind the filing lies the arc of a relationship—years of shared spaces, routines, and unspoken agreements—now reduced to a matter of asset division, responsibility allocation, and legal fees.
Represented by attorney Kirby L. Minor of the Law Office of Kirby L. Minor, LLC, Anderson makes his case with surgical precision. He asserts that neither he nor Enlow should receive spousal maintenance, a request that suggests a clean financial break, or perhaps an unwillingness to prolong the inevitable. Their non-marital assets, he argues, should be returned to their respective owners, and whatever remains of the shared estate should be equitably divided—if, of course, the court must intervene. Notably, he also asks that both parties bear the legal costs of this dissolution, a detail that hints at the quiet negotiations that may have preceded this formal step.
There is no mention of betrayal, no grand accusations, only the recognition that what once existed no longer does. And yet, as Anderson waits for Enlow’s response, the true shape of their parting remains unwritten. For now, the court will serve as the final arbiter of a marriage that—whatever its past—has come to an unceremonious close.
