When Mark Sutor filed for divorce from Katherine Meyer on May 22, 2025, in Cook County, Illinois, the petition wasn’t merely a bureaucratic step—it marked the formal unraveling of a marriage that had quietly eroded under the weight of irreconcilable differences. In documents filed through his counsel, Maria Citino of Citino Family Law LLC, Sutor described a marriage that had reached an irretrievable breakdown, where reconciliation was not only improbable but futile.
The couple had married on February 22, 2020, in Cook County. They share no children, and there are no claims of pregnancy. Sutor, a 40-year-old sound engineer, and Meyer, 42 and employed in the restaurant industry, had both lived in Illinois for over 90 days preceding the filing—meeting statutory requirements for jurisdiction.
While no maintenance is sought by either party, the petition draws a line between marital and non-marital property, calling for an equitable division of shared assets: real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement funds, a vehicle, and other tangible items accumulated during their five-year union. Sutor maintains that both he and Meyer are capable of self-support and that neither should be entitled to spousal support.
Beneath the legal language is a familiar story—two people who once shared a home and a hope for the future, now turning to the court for closure. The petition underscores a mutual desire to disentangle without ongoing financial obligation to one another, save for what the law considers fair.
