On September 23, 2024, Anna Miyamoto, represented by her attorney Paul D. Nordini, filed for the dissolution of her 13-year marriage to Shinichiro Miyamoto in Cook County, Illinois. The petition states that irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which began on July 29, 2011, in Glen Ellyn. The couple, who share three children born in 2011, 2013, and 2015, has been living apart for at least six months.

Anna requests the court to equitably divide both the marital assets—real estate, bank accounts, and personal property—and any marital debts accumulated during the relationship. If no agreement is reached, she asks that issues surrounding spousal support, child support, and parenting responsibilities be adjudicated by the court. She further requests that any resolution regarding attorney fees be made by the court if they cannot agree on their allocation.

Paul D. Nordini’s petition emphasizes that all efforts at reconciliation have failed and that any future attempts would be futile. Anna seeks her share of the marital estate while ensuring both parties retain their non-marital property. Additionally, she asks the court to retroactively adjust financial support to the date of the petition’s filing.

As the case moves forward, the court will likely need to step in if the two parties cannot agree on key issues related to the division of assets, parenting responsibilities, and financial obligations.
