There are moments when personal economics and emotional arithmetic can no longer balance the ledger. On May 16, 2025, Veronica Satran filed a petition for dissolution of marriage against Edward Rangel Gomez in Cook County, Illinois, citing irreconcilable differences that have fractured their union beyond repair.

Their marriage began on September 12, 2018, in Chicago, and by most external appearances, it was as ordinary as any—a union marked by shared employment, no children, and a modest accumulation of property and debts. But beneath the surface, something broke. Satran, represented by attorney Arkady Reifman of Reifman Law Offices, asserts that the parties have lived apart since April 14, 2025, and that their separation reflects not just physical distance but the final unraveling of a relationship worn thin by incompatibility.

The petition sketches the familiar outlines of marital dissolution: the acquisition of shared assets—furniture, unspecified holdings—and debts that now require division. Satran emphasizes her own role in the stewardship and growth of their marital estate and requests an equitable share. She also seeks retention of her non-marital property and any additional relief deemed appropriate by the court.

No children bind them legally or emotionally, and no claims of abuse or betrayal are noted. It is a quiet departure from a once-shared life, processed through the bureaucratic machinery of family law. Like many modern dissolutions, it reflects not a sudden collapse but the steady erosion of connection, one spreadsheet and sleepless night at a time.
