In the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on May 22, 2025, Jacinta McGee filed a petition to dissolve her marriage to Conor McGee, citing irreconcilable differences that have rendered their union unsalvageable. The couple were married on July 18, 2008, in Cook County and, by the time of judgment, will have lived apart for at least six months.
Jacinta, age 40, and Conor, 39, both reside in Chicago, though in different circumstances. Jacinta works full-time with Clarendale Six Corners, while Conor runs a thriving construction business. Their outward prosperity, however, concealed a domestic fracture that years of effort could not repair.
They share three young children, ages ten and nine, whose futures now hinge on a fair allocation of parenting time and shared decision-making. Jacinta, through her attorney Valerie I. Steiner of Steiner Howeth Pasquesi & Hatch, Ltd., seeks not just recognition of the breakdown but the financial support necessary to sustain the standard of living built during the marriage. She requests maintenance and child support, asserting that Conor has long been the primary earner and remains well-positioned to continue that role.
Jacinta also calls for an equitable division of marital property and the retention of her non-marital assets. She further asks the court to bar Conor from receiving maintenance and to order him to shoulder his own legal fees while contributing to hers.
Behind the signatures and case numbers lies a story of imbalance, care, and a plea for dignity amid dissolution.
