As the dawn of a new year unfolds, Charlene N. Sims has taken the significant step of filing for divorce from Freddie M. Sims III. The petition, submitted in Cook County on January 3, 2025, marks the dissolution of a marriage that began on August 18, 2019. This pivotal moment reflects the culmination of irreconcilable differences that have rendered their relationship unsustainable.
Charlene, 35, a resident of Oak Forest, is navigating this transition with the support of her attorney from MLG Law Group. The couple has been separated for over six months, a period characterized by reflection and the realization that reconciliation is no longer an option. Both parties are gainfully employed and capable of supporting themselves, which allows them to approach this dissolution without the complications of maintenance claims.
In her petition, Charlene seeks joint decision-making responsibilities regarding their child while asserting her role as the primary residential custodian. The couple has also agreed to share expenses related to their child’s health, education, and extracurricular activities, establishing a framework for co-parenting that prioritizes their child’s well-being.
As they prepare for this new chapter, the court will oversee the equitable distribution of their marital assets and debts, ensuring both Charlene and Freddie can move forward with clarity and purpose. This dissolution signifies not only the end of their marriage but also a commitment to navigating the complexities of co-parenting, underscoring the resilience required to face the future apart.
