In the quiet heartland of Missouri, the tale of Justin S. Jones, a resident of Warrenton, and Ashley N. Kirchner, living in Troy, unfolds on October 3, 2023. Their union, marked by the exchange of vows on September 15, 2018, now stands at the precipice. Filed under the open sky, the reasons cited are stark and simple: irretrievable brokenness, a union beyond saving. No finger of blame points, as both navigate this ending with an understanding gaze.

No children emerged from their union in wedlock. There exists one unemancipated child, though not of the Petitioner’s blood. Before the vows, two unemancipated souls blessed their lives. The names and years of these tender souls are to be held close, disclosed only in sealed documents to come. The Petitioner bears the title of father, woven into the delicate fabric of their birth certificates.

In the pursuit of solace and fairness, Justin S. Jones, through the guiding hand of Gerald W. Linnenbringer of Linnenbringer Law, beseeches the Court. In the realm of justice, the petitioner’s fervent appeals resound. Firstly, a plea resonates for the dissolution of marital ties between Justin S. Jones and Ashley N. Kirchner, once united in solemn vows. No alimony is sought, for a prior accord stands firm. Their offspring, in both legal and physical realms, are entreated to be jointly embraced, as outlined in their shared Parenting Plan. Non-marital assets, rightfully owned, are beseeched to be returned to their respective bearers. And in the event of a settled agreement, the Court’s imprimatur is earnestly sought. However, if consensus eludes, marital properties and debts shall be justly divided, upholding the mantle of equity.

Not a whisper of maintenance hangs in the air, a testament to prior accord. And in the shadows of St. Charles County, this chapter unfolds, penned without rancor or remorse. Each word is a brushstroke in this canvas of finality.
