In a case of irreconcilable differences, Brian Lieberfeld filed for divorce from Rebecca Lieberfeld on September 23, 2024, in the Cook County Circuit Court. After 20 years of marriage, the couple separated on August 1, 2024, citing an irretrievable breakdown of their relationship. Both parties are 45 years old and reside in Wheeling, Illinois. Brian, an accountant, is represented by Ana Garduno of Anderson Boback & Marshall LLC. The petition outlines Brian’s request for joint custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Sofia Lieberfeld, born February 1, 2010.
Brian seeks an equitable division of marital assets, his non-marital property, and requests no spousal support for either party, as both are financially self-sufficient. In addition to fair and reasonable parenting time, he proposes both parties contribute equally to Sofia’s expenses, including school fees, medical costs, and extracurricular activities. The petition also emphasizes that both Brian and Rebecca should cover their individual attorney fees. Brian has requested at least 50% parenting time with their daughter, affirming that both parents should share significant decision-making responsibilities in her upbringing.
With the breakdown of their marriage and failed attempts at reconciliation, Brian seeks a dissolution of marriage in the best interest of all parties involved, particularly their daughter.
