What began as a union celebrated in the heart of Chicago on December 30, 2021, now finds itself unraveling in the halls of Cook County’s Domestic Relations Division. On May 6, 2025, thirty-nine-year-old Jane Eunjung Lee formally petitioned the court to dissolve her marriage to thirty-year-old Michael Kurt Colin, citing irreconcilable differences that have led to an irretrievable breakdown of the relationship.
Jane, through her counsel at the Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group by Haid and Teich, LLP, asserted that all efforts at reconciliation had failed and further attempts would be futile. The petition outlines that the couple has no children and that Jane is not pregnant. Additionally, Jane seeks the consolidation of an Emergency Order of Protection she previously obtained on April 20, 2025 (Case No. 2025 OP 73440) into the divorce proceedings—an indication that this case may involve more than a quiet parting of ways.
Both parties, according to the filing, earn sufficient income to meet their individual needs. Jane requests that neither party be granted spousal maintenance and asks for an equitable division of both marital assets and liabilities. She further prays that each retains their non-marital property. The petition reflects a legal move toward independence and closure, as Jane seeks the court’s guidance to equitably end a marriage that has lasted just over three years.
