Lindsey Berry, a 38-year-old resident of Chicago, has filed for the dissolution of her marriage with Benjamin Drury, aged 43, after 12 years of marriage. The petition, filed on November 6, 2024, in Cook County, Illinois, cites irreconcilable differences that have led to the marriage’s irretrievable breakdown. Despite past attempts at reconciliation, the parties have lived separately, and further efforts are deemed impractical. They have two children: Emerson, aged 8, and Lorenzo, born just four months ago.
Lindsey is seeking joint decision-making responsibilities regarding their children and an equitable division of marital and non-marital property. She believes that shared parenting time should be arranged, considering the young age of their second child, Lorenzo. Both parties are employed, with Benjamin recently quitting full-time work, leading to his current underemployment. Despite this, Lindsey argues that he is capable of contributing to the children’s financial needs.
Represented by the law firm Davis Friedman, LLP, Lindsey is requesting the court to grant dissolution, allocate property and debts, bar any maintenance claims, and require Benjamin to support their children financially. She asserts that both parties have sufficient resources to cover their legal expenses. The case continues to unfold as Lindsey seeks an equitable resolution to this challenging chapter of her life.
