In a filing made on September 19, 2023, in Lake County, Illinois, Daniel Saulnier and Kay E. Saulnier have initiated proceedings to dissolve their marriage of over three decades. The couple, who married on September 22, 1990, and both calling Illinois their home, cite irreconcilable differences as the grounds for their separation. While the filing does not specify which party is attributing blame, it emphasizes that attempts at reconciliation would not be in their best interests.

The Saulniers share a history of nurturing a family, having three children born or adopted during their marriage. As of the filing, all three children have reached emancipation. The document does not elaborate on child support, sole responsibility, or parental decision-making.

The petitioner, Daniel Saulnier, represented by attorney Robert E. Lewin, puts forth a series of requests. These include the dissolution of marriage, barring both parties from maintenance claims, awarding nonmarital property to each, allowing Kay E. Saulnier to revert to her maiden name of Boldt, and granting any other relief deemed equitable.

While the filing acknowledges the accumulation of marital property and debts, specific details regarding these matters are not provided. The Saulnier divorce case underscores the complexities of marital dissolution, revealing a story of decades-long union in Lake County, Illinois.
