The docket in the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County reflects a petition filed at 7:52 p.m. on February 25, 2026, initiating proceedings between Luis Soto Ramirez and Lilia Moreno Ramos. The case, numbered 2026D001400, seeks a judgment dissolving the marriage registered in Cook County nearly a decade earlier.
According to the filing, the parties were married on November 1, 2016, through a civil ceremony in Chicago. They have lived separate and apart since October 2018. The petition states that irreconcilable differences have caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and that further attempts at reconciliation would not be in the family’s best interest. No children were born to or adopted by the parties during the marriage, and the respondent is not pregnant.
The document outlines the financial contours of the dispute. During the marriage, the parties acquired marital property and debts to be apportioned equitably. The petitioner also identifies non-marital property to be assigned to him as his sole and separate property. The filing asserts that the respondent is able to support herself without contribution and should be barred from receiving maintenance. It further states that she has sufficient income and assets to pay her own attorney’s fees and costs.
The petition affirms that no other dissolution action is pending in any other county or state. With the filing now part of the court record, the matter shifts from private separation to formal adjudication, where property, debt, and support will be resolved under statutory standards. In the closing days of February, as households mark time in quieter ways, the case proceeds through a system designed to translate personal decisions into binding orders.
