After more than three decades of marriage, Paul Seavey has filed for the dissolution of his marriage to Katherine Seavey, citing irreconcilable differences that have caused an irretrievable breakdown. The petition, filed on October 1, 2024, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, emphasizes that previous reconciliation attempts have failed, and any future efforts would be futile. Represented by Hurst, Robin, Kay & Allen, LLC, Paul Seavey asserts that the division of assets, non-marital property, and debts has already been agreed upon through the Collaborative Process.

Paul and Katherine, who married in 1992 in Chicago, have four adult children. The petition notes that these children—aged 21 to 27—are emancipated, and no issues regarding custody or child support are at play. Paul currently resides in Chicago and is employed, while Katherine lives in Breckenridge, Colorado, and is unemployed.

The Seaveys have entered into a Marital Settlement Agreement dated October 1, 2024, which outlines the division of their marital and non-marital assets, as well as their debts. Both parties find the agreement to be fair and reasonable, and they seek the court’s approval to finalize their separation under the terms agreed upon. The petitioner also requests that each party pay their respective legal fees as outlined in the agreement.
