In a significant development within Cook County, Patrick Tormey has initiated divorce proceedings against his spouse, Kristy Tormey, filing the petition on July 1, 2024. The couple, who married on August 31, 2019, in Chicago, share one child, Patrick Tormey III, born June 1, 2018. According to the petition, irreconcilable differences have led to the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage, with efforts at reconciliation proving futile. The petitioner, represented by Matthew & Drnovsek Law, LLC, asserts that both parties have been living separate and apart for over six months, despite residing in the same domicile.
Patrick Tormey is requesting the court to dissolve the marriage and equitably divide any marital property. Additionally, he seeks to bar Kristy Tormey, who is self-employed, from receiving spousal maintenance and any contribution towards her attorney’s fees. The petitioner also emphasizes his capability and suitability for majority parenting time and sole decision-making authority for their minor child, citing the child’s best interests.
The petition outlines that no agreements have been reached regarding the division of property or the allocation of parental responsibilities. Patrick Tormey urges the court to allocate reasonable support obligations to Kristy for their child’s needs, including daycare, extracurricular activities, education, and healthcare expenses. The unfolding legal battle highlights the complexities of modern marital dissolution, especially when minor children and financial responsibilities are involved.
