As the first week of 2025 dawns, Tasha Meyer, a resident of Chicago, finds herself filing for dissolution of her marriage to Benjamin Meyer, a Cook County resident. Filed on January 6, 2025, with the Circuit Court of Cook County, the petition signals the culmination of a marriage that began over two decades ago, on June 29, 2002, in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

The Meyers’ union, once promising, has irretrievably broken down. Despite past efforts to reconcile, Tasha Meyer contends that the marriage’s restoration is no longer feasible and that further attempts would not serve the family’s best interests. The couple has been separated for more than six months, with no children requiring support as both have reached adulthood. The breakdown of their marriage, fueled by irreconcilable differences, now brings them to court to settle matters of property and fairness.

Represented by the Olita Law Group, LLC, Tasha is seeking a fair distribution of marital property. She emphasizes that any non-marital property she holds should remain free from any claims by Benjamin. Additionally, she seeks an order barring him from receiving maintenance, asserting his ability to support himself.

This petition for dissolution is not just the end of a chapter but marks the beginning of a new year, with new resolutions for both parties as they navigate the complexities of division.
