Nathan Florell has filed for divorce from Paula Florell after 26 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences that have made reconciliation impossible. The petition, submitted on October 1, 2024, in Cook County, Illinois, outlines the breakdown of the marriage, noting that both parties have resided in the state for the required 90 days prior to the filing.
Nathan, represented by Cowell Family Law, P.C., is financially independent as a driving instructor. In contrast, Paula, who is currently unemployed, is seeking maintenance. The couple’s two children, both adults and emancipated, are not at issue in the case. The petition also requests that the court dissolve the marriage, divide the couple’s assets and debts equitably, and ensure that each party handles their own legal costs.
Nathan asserts that the marriage cannot be repaired and has requested that the court prohibit either party from seeking maintenance from the other in the future. The filing reflects a clear and structured approach to untangling the long-standing relationship, where Nathan’s self-sufficiency contrasts with Paula’s financial reliance.
