In the heart of Cook County, Illinois, Kit Munroe Weatherwax took a significant step toward ending the marriage to Richard Lain Penny, citing irreconcilable differences. The petition for dissolution, filed on April 28, 2025, marks the culmination of a process that began in 2018 with their marriage in Dallas, Texas. The couple, who has lived separately for over six months, both acknowledge that reconciliation is no longer feasible, an effort which has already proven impractical. No children were born to the marriage, and no arrangements have been made regarding the allocation of property or support.
Weatherwax, 47, seeks a fair division of marital assets and maintenance, as per the lifestyle they once shared. While Penny, 43, resides in Brooklyn, New York, the petitioner’s legal representation, Carol L. Jones of Metz + Jones LLC, stands firm in the pursuit of a just settlement. The request to the court includes an equitable division of property, with Weatherwax seeking a reasonable portion of the marital estate, ensuring that the dissolution of this union is concluded in a manner befitting the circumstances of the marriage’s breakdown.
