In the hush of late July, beneath the formal symmetry of courtroom filings and digital timestamps, a quiet but consequential motion unfolded. Wanda Moore, through her attorneys at Chicago Advocate Legal, NFP, formally initiated proceedings to dissolve her marriage to Lashonya Williams—a union that began nearly a decade ago, on December 30, 2015, in the heart of Chicago. Filed with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on July 25, 2025, the petition outlines a narrative of two lives diverging in the aftermath of irreconcilable differences.
There are no children to complicate the emotional topography, but the petition reveals the presence of shared financial entanglements: a restaurant business allegedly funded by Moore but titled solely in Williams’s name, and a marital home controversially transferred via quitclaim deed, a move Moore now seeks to undo. These are not just assets—they are fragments of trust, embedded in transactions.
Moore, now reliant on a fixed income, is seeking maintenance, citing her limited financial independence and the inequity of the split. Her legal counsel, Chlece Walker-Neal-Murray, has also requested the court to restore balance by ensuring an equitable division of property and debt, while also acknowledging each party’s non-marital holdings.
No dramatic revelations, no explosive accusations—only a request for fairness shaped by years of quiet erosion. What remains now is for the court to determine how this decade-long partnership will be unwound, thread by thread.
