In a divorce filing submitted on September 14, 2023, in Jackson County, Missouri, Yareli Alvarez took the decisive step of initiating the dissolution of her marriage with Omar Cervantez Soriano. This legal move comes after more than a decade of matrimony, with the couple having tied the knot on December 30, 2011. The union had produced two children.
The petition for divorce cited the reason for this move as follows: “There is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage of the Petitioner and Respondent can be preserved; therefore, the marriage is irretrievably broken.” Notably, the document did not attribute blame to either party for the marital breakdown.
In a comprehensive list of prayers, Yareli Alvarez presented her requests to the court. These included the dissolution of the marriage, and joint legal and joint physical custody of their children, with her address designated for educational and mailing purposes. She also sought retroactive child support payments, with the payments directed to the Family Support Payment Center in Jefferson City, Missouri. Yareli Alvarez requested the tax exemption for the minor children and the provision of appropriate hospitalization insurance for them, along with contributions towards uninsured medical, vision, orthodontic, dental, psychological, and counseling expenses for the children. The filing also mentioned the need for reasonable visitation privileges for Omar Cervantez Soriano with the minor children.
Yareli Alvarez further sought an assignment of part of the respondent’s earnings and income for child support, as well as payment of a reasonable amount for attorney fees and costs incurred during the legal process. She requested that non-marital assets be set aside to the respective parties and sought approval of any Marital Settlement Agreement reached between them or, alternatively, division of marital property and debts by the court in a fair and equitable manner.
Remarkably, the document did not provide information regarding the parties’ debts, marital and non-marital properties, or their desired resolutions regarding these matters.
