Charles McCall, 91, has officially filed for the dissolution of his marriage to Dorothy McCall, 73, in Cook County, Illinois, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of their separation. The couple, married since November 30, 1991, in Chicago, have been living apart for over six months, and attempts at reconciliation have been deemed impractical. With no children born or adopted during their union, the dissolution process is straightforward in terms of child support and custody concerns. Both parties are self-sufficient and have agreed to waive any claim to spousal maintenance, opting instead to retain their individual assets and personal property.

Charles McCall, represented by the MLG Law Group, has requested the court to divide any marital debts or property fairly while allowing each party to maintain control of their respective non-marital possessions. The petition further states that both Charles and Dorothy are capable of supporting themselves financially, making a mutual agreement to forego maintenance logical and fair. The simplicity of their financial and personal situations should help expedite the dissolution process.

In the final request, Charles McCall has asked the court for any additional relief that may be just, ensuring that all aspects of the case are considered before a final judgment is rendered. His attorney, from the MLG Law Group, submitted the petition for dissolution on September 19, 2024, in Cook County.
