In Cook County, Illinois, the marriage between Erin Archer and Patrick William Archer, a union forged in 2019, has reached its breaking point. On August 26, 2024, Erin, through her attorney at O. Long Law, LLC, filed for dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences that have shattered any hope for reconciliation. The couple, who have been separated for over six months, share a three-year-old child, J.A., and reside together in Des Plaines, Illinois. Erin is seeking primary parenting time, with joint decision-making responsibilities regarding their child’s welfare, while allowing Patrick reasonable visitation rights.
Erin, who is gainfully employed, asserts that both she and Patrick are self-sufficient and requests that the court bar any claims from Patrick for maintenance or attorney’s fees. Additionally, Erin seeks an equitable division of their marital property and debt, while both parties retain their non-marital assets. The petition paints a picture of a marriage that has run its course, with Erin aiming for a fair and just dissolution, free from financial entanglements beyond what is necessary for their child.
