In a vibrant assertion of personal autonomy, August V. Locallo and Karen L. Locallo have embarked on a journey of dissolution, citing “irreconcilable differences and difficulties” as the catalyst for the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” Their union, which commenced on May 19, 1974, has witnessed the birth of three lives. This couple, situated within the confines of Cook County, Illinois, has chosen to engage with the courts in their pursuit of separation.

This courageous step, taken on August 15, 2023, beckons for the equitable apportionment of both marital and non-marital properties, an understanding to waive maintenance claims, and an unwavering commitment to personal accountability over debts and obligations.

Guiding the petitioner through the labyrinth of legal proceedings is Attorney Stuart Spiegel from the esteemed SPIEGEL & DeMARS firm. As they navigate this juncture, August V. Locallo and Karen L. Locallo wield the power of change, invoking the strength of their shared history as they embrace new horizons.
