Charity Miska has formally filed for dissolution of her marriage to David Miska in Cook County, Illinois. The petition, submitted on October 17, 2024, through her attorneys, Davis Friedman LLP, cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of their nearly 16-year marriage, which began in 2008. Both parties are 52 years old and have lived separately for more than six months, as required by law.
Charity, who has primarily been a stay-at-home mother, is requesting joint parental responsibility for their 12-year-old daughter, Karina, and seeks a reasonable parenting schedule. While Charity acknowledges David’s ability to support himself financially, she asserts that she requires financial maintenance, as her part-time employment does not provide sufficient income. Additionally, she requests child support to cover educational, medical, and extracurricular expenses.
Charity also seeks an equitable division of the marital property and debt accumulated during their marriage. She argues that David should contribute to her attorney’s fees, while being solely responsible for his own legal costs. The petition underscores that Charity is not seeking maintenance for David and asks the court to bar him from receiving it.
The petition paints a picture of a marriage that has reached its end, with both parties looking for fair and just arrangements to move forward separately.
