For more than four decades, Carlynn Lampton and Enoch Lampton built a life together, but on March 10, 2025, in Cook County, Illinois, Carlynn took the first legal step to bring that chapter to a close. Through her attorneys at Abramovitch Blalock McKinnon, she filed a petition for dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences that have rendered their union unsalvageable.
Married on January 6, 1983, the couple raised four children, all now grown and independent. According to the petition, they have lived separately for at least six months, and efforts to reconcile have failed. Carlynn, now 64, seeks a fair division of their marital property and debts, asking the court to recognize each party’s non-marital assets while ensuring an equitable split of jointly owned assets, including their residence and retirement funds. She has also requested that Enoch, 69 and retired, be barred from receiving maintenance.
The case now moves into the legal process, where negotiations over property and financial settlements will unfold. While the marriage lasted more than 42 years, Carlynn’s filing signals the final stretch of their shared legal and financial commitments. The Cook County Circuit Court will ultimately determine how their assets and obligations are divided as both parties turn toward separate futures.
