On May 28, 2024, a petition for dissolution of marriage was filed in the Cook County Circuit Court by Suzanne Serino, aged fifty-five, residing in Inverness, Illinois. Represented by the law firm Polachek and Polachek, Suzanne seeks to dissolve her marriage to Nicholas Richard Serino, aged sixty-four, who resides in East Dundee, Illinois. Their marriage, solemnized on May 28, 2000, in South Barrington, produced three children: E.S. and O.S., twins born in 2001, and L.S., born in 2010.
The petition asserts that irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, rendering further reconciliation efforts impracticable. Both Suzanne and Nicholas have lived apart for over six months, confirming their separation. The petition emphasizes that all parental responsibilities and parenting time should be shared in the best interest of their minor child, L.S., and states that no other child custody proceedings are pending in any other jurisdiction.
During their marriage, the couple accumulated marital property that now requires equitable distribution. Both parties are fully employed and capable of supporting themselves, thus the petition seeks to bar any maintenance payments between them. Additionally, Suzanne requests that each party be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and associated legal costs.
Suzanne’s petition reflects a structured dissolution of marital ties, aiming for fairness in property division and mutual responsibilities towards their child. The document stands as a testament to a meticulously orchestrated end to a long-term marriage, highlighting the procedural rigor and emotional complexities inherent in such cases.
