In a case emblematic of long-standing marital struggles, Rosemary Galandak filed for divorce from her husband, David S. Galandak, Sr., in Cook County, Illinois, on September 17, 2024. The couple, who were married on September 3, 1999, have been living separately since 2016, marking the end of a union that began over 25 years ago. Rosemary, represented by the Law Office of Tania K. Harvey, P.C., cites irreconcilable differences that have led to the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage.
Now 59, Rosemary, a shift supervisor, and David, 66, have one emancipated child, David S. Galandak, II, born in 2001. The couple’s petition highlights their separate lives and outlines a desire for an equitable division of marital property, which includes real estate, and the allocation of debt. Rosemary is asking the court to allow each party to retain their non-marital property and has requested that no spousal maintenance be granted to David.
Efforts at reconciliation have failed, and further attempts would be impractical, according to Rosemary. The petition emphasizes that the couple has lived apart for over six months, a key requirement under Illinois law for dissolving a marriage based on irreconcilable differences. As the legal process unfolds, both parties are expected to bear their own legal fees, and the court will determine the fair division of their assets.
