The petition for the dissolution of marriage filed by Angelica Ramirez in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on September 29, 2025, reads as a quiet but resolute step away from a union that began more than two decades ago. Represented by Bridget A. Clark-Castrejón of Clark Castrejón Law Firm, Angelica, 45, of Posen, Illinois, asks the court to end her marriage to Jose Ramirez, who resides in Blue Island.
The marriage, solemnized on January 25, 2002 in Markham, Illinois, endured through the raising of one child—now an adult—before arriving at this moment of dissolution. The petition acknowledges there are no minor children to consider and that Angelica is not pregnant. In the stark, formal cadence of court filings, it states that “irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage and that any further attempts at reconciliation would not serve the interests of either party.
Angelica’s filing seeks a judgment dissolving the marriage, a division of marital property and debts, and the assignment of non-marital property to each spouse, along with any other relief the court deems fair. Behind those phrases lies the story of a relationship that spanned 23 years yet could not withstand the accumulation of unbridgeable differences.
By invoking the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, Angelica asks the court to close this chapter of their shared life with clarity and order—an appeal to the law to mark the ending of what once promised permanence.
