Zoom down to Cook County, Illinois, where the domestic drama spins a new reel—Jane Marshall, piano keys and lullabies her trade, filed for divorce from Brian Wittmuss, real estate shutterbug, on February 27, 2025. It’s a clean break, folks, no mess of nostalgia here, just the stark clang of irreconcilable differences smashing a marriage that kicked off August 1, 2021, in Glenview. Jeffrey R. Esser of the Law Office of Jeffrey R. Esser is her man in the courtroom, laying out the script with precision.
Jane, 34, and Brian, 38, both Chicago fixtures for five years, share a one-year-old —no other kids, no bun in the oven. She’s got the tyke under her wing since they split, pushing for full decision-making reins and a measly Saturday-a-month cameo for Brian. Cash? She’s after $600 monthly from him, plus a split on school, sports, and doctor bills—practical stuff. Property’s already carved up, each clutching their own stash, marital and not, and neither’s begging for spousal handouts. They’re self-made, standing tall.
This petition, dropped as Valentine’s Day fades into rearview, isn’t a tearjerker—it’s a brisk transaction, Jane staking her claim, eyes on the kid and the future, no looking back.
