In Cook County, Illinois, the inevitable dissolution of the marriage between Alina Stoenescu and Damian Nicolescu has been set into motion. Alina, at the age of forty-four, resides on Marine Drive in Chicago, while Damian, at forty, lives on Paulina Avenue. Their union, solemnized on August 17, 2019, in Chicago, has now reached an irretrievable end, with Alina filing for divorce on July 16, 2024. The petition, brought forward by Alina’s attorney, Paul Marinov of the Law Offices of Paul Marinov, emphasizes the irreconcilable differences that have led to the breakdown of their marriage.

Despite efforts at reconciliation, the chasm between them has proven too vast, rendering any future attempts both impracticable and unwise. The couple has no children, either born or adopted, and Alina is not pregnant. During their relatively short marriage, they have acquired some marital property, which will need to be equitably divided. Both parties are financially independent, capable of maintaining their lifestyles without the need for spousal support. Consequently, Alina’s petition requests that Damian be denied any maintenance.

The petition is a clear reflection of the practicalities of modern marital dissolution, focusing on the equitable division of assets and the self-sufficiency of both parties. It seeks a clean, efficient severance of marital bonds, leaving behind the embers of what once was, now reduced to a legal formality.
