In a recent filing in Cook County, Illinois, Nicole and Matthew Janicki petitioned for the dissolution of their marriage on September 15, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who tied the knot on June 1, 2013, has three children: eight-year-old Nolan, and six-year-old twins, Leah and Emma. Nicole Janicki resides in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, while Matthew Janicki also calls Cook County home.

The petition outlines Nicole’s prayers, which encompass a range of requests, including joint decision-making regarding the children, statutory child support, and equitable division of their marital estate. Notably, the filing emphasizes that all domestic relations cases in the county will be conducted remotely, either by phone or video.

The Janickis have taken a clear stance on financial matters. While they both acknowledge their obligation to support their children, they’ve decided that maintenance shall be barred for both parties, as they believe both are capable of self-support.

The legal representation for Nicole Janicki is being provided by Allison R. Pawlicki, Esq. from the firm Pawlicki Law LLC, based in Palos Heights, Illinois. The filing underscores that the Cook County Court has jurisdiction over the matter, with no other pending actions in any other jurisdiction regarding their marriage.

This filing not only sheds light on the couple’s decision to end their marriage but also highlights the complexities of navigating issues surrounding children, assets, and responsibilities within the context of a legal separation.
