In the bustling city of Chicago, the life of Cindy G. Fluxgold, a distinguished attorney and partner at Goldstein, Fluxgold & Baron, P.C., has taken a dramatic turn. On July 22, 2024, she filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Terry Peigh, a 70-year-old consultant. Their union, forged on August 22, 1981, in Cook County, has weathered many seasons but now stands irreparably broken.
Cindy, 69, asserts that irreconcilable differences have led to the irrevocable breakdown of their marriage, rendering any attempts at reconciliation impractical and not in the family’s best interest. With two emancipated children, G.P. and L.P., born in 1991 and 2000 respectively, Cindy and Terry face the task of disentangling their shared lives.
Cindy’s petition highlights the accumulation of marital property over the years, which she believes should be divided equitably. Notably, she insists that Terry should reimburse the marital estate for any amounts he has dissipated. Cindy also requests the assignment of her non-marital property and a fair allocation of any marital debts. Furthermore, she contends that Terry, capable of self-support, should not receive maintenance and should bear his own legal costs.
Represented by Jamie A. Zider of Berger Schatz, Cindy’s plea to the court is clear: dissolve the marriage, ensure a just division of property, and hold Terry accountable for his financial responsibilities. As the legal proceedings unfold, the echoes of a long-shared life reverberate through the halls of the Cook County Courthouse, a poignant reminder of the complexities of human relationships.
