As the clock struck the final hours of December, signaling the end of another year, Maxime Gilles, a seasoned resident of Orland Park, made his mark on 2024 with a legal petition that closed the door on his marriage to Kisha Gilles. Filed on December 30, 2024, in Cook County, Illinois, this petition for dissolution of marriage adds to the growing tide of New Year’s resolutions that reflect the complex intersection of personal lives and legal realities.
Max, represented by Corri D. Fetman of Corri Fetman & Associates, Ltd., seeks to sever the bonds that were forged back in 2016, when he and Kisha tied the knot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The couple’s marriage, once filled with possibility, had unraveled amid irreconcilable differences. No children were born to the union, and there are no claims of pending pregnancies.
Max’s position is clear: he seeks to retain his non-marital property, free and clear from any claim by Kisha. He also demands a fair division of the marital assets, and a clean break from their shared debts. In his view, Kisha should be barred from receiving maintenance, as she is capable of supporting herself. Furthermore, he requests the court to deny her any claims to temporary or permanent spousal support. Kisha, represented by her own legal counsel, will be responsible for her own attorney fees.
The petition offers Kisha the option of resuming her maiden name, should she wish to do so. With the weight of a marriage dissolved, the gavel may fall, signaling a fresh start as the year unfolds.
