In the quiet churn of a hot Chicago summer, a decisive page turned in the life of Charity Greene. On July 3, 2025, she filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, bringing to a legal end her union with Philip Greene III—a marriage that began with promise on September 2, 2017, in Washington, D.C., but has now unraveled into what her counsel, the Law Offices of Brandi N. Pratt, P.C., frames as an irretrievable breakdown.
At 34, unemployed and rooted in Chicago, Charity now seeks clarity and stability, not just for herself but for the couple’s one-year-old daughter, born in February 2023. The petition paints a picture of a mother ready to shoulder full decision-making responsibilities, should co-parenting falter, and to assume the majority of parenting time under Illinois law. She asks the court to compel Philip, 35 and employed at Brunswick Corporation, to provide child support and contribute to child-related expenses.
The assets—property on North Ashland Avenue, retirement accounts, automobiles—are all up for equitable division, as are the debts accumulated during nearly eight years of shared life. Charity also seeks spousal maintenance, citing her inability to maintain the lifestyle previously established. In closing, she reserves the right to resume her maiden name, Jackson, symbolizing a final gesture toward self-reclamation.
Her petition doesn’t seek drama. It seeks resolution. And like many filings before it, it arrives not with spectacle, but with the quiet gravity of lives forever changed.
