The couple, wed on June 27, 2011, shares two children, I.G.L. (11 years old) and C.C.L. (9 years old). The petitioner asserts that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no discernible attribution of fault to either party.

Additionally, she implores for child support to be calculated in line with Rule 88 and Form 14, and for a just and impartial apportionment of marital assets and debts. The petitioner also emphasizes the need to safeguard her separate property.
