Christina McHale, a thirty-six-year-old resident of Chicago, filed for dissolution of her marriage with Sean McHale on April 25, 2025, in Cook County, Illinois. The couple, who were married on September 2, 2018, have no children and have been living apart for over six months due to irreconcilable differences, which Christina asserts have caused an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage.
Represented by Berlin Melzer Law LLC, Christina seeks a fair and equitable division of the marital property and has requested that the court bar both parties from seeking maintenance from one another. Christina’s petition emphasizes the hope that both parties will reach a marital settlement agreement to expedite the process. However, if a full agreement cannot be reached, she asks the court to proceed with a judgment for dissolution that reflects her desired terms.
In addition to property division, Christina requests that any joint debt be equitably distributed and that Sean McHale be solely responsible for his personal debts and attorney fees. Christina’s attorney, from Berlin Melzer Law LLC, has filed the petition on her behalf, outlining her desires for a swift and just resolution. With no children involved and both parties capable of supporting themselves, the dissolution aims to resolve the issues amicably, with an eye towards finality and fairness in their legal proceedings.
