As the first days of 2025 unfolded, Cynthia Christine Lopez filed a petition for divorce against her husband, Mark Anthony Lopez, in Jackson County on January 2. Represented by attorney Jill K. Shipman-DeHardt of Shipman & DeHardt, P.C., Lopez declared their marriage irretrievably broken, noting their separation began on July 11, 2024.
In her filing, Lopez outlined that there were no children from the marriage and asserted that neither party required spousal maintenance, as both are financially self-sufficient. She requested the court to dissolve the union, equitably divide marital assets and debts, and uphold any marital settlement agreement if one exists. Should no agreement be presented, she asked the court to adjudicate the division of their property and liabilities.
Lopez also sought an order requiring Mark Anthony Lopez to cover her attorney’s fees and legal expenses, citing her limited financial resources in comparison to her spouse. This petition, filed at the dawn of a new year, highlights Cynthia Lopez’s clear intention to move forward and pursue a fair resolution to their marriage’s legal and financial matters.
