Cook County’s first month of 2025 has already seen its share of legal battles, and among them is the divorce petition filed on January 10 by Gaurav Rewal against Suvina Nayyar. The couple, who wed on Valentine’s Day in 2019 in Ontario, Canada, is now facing the reality of a marriage that has, as court documents put it, “irretrievably broken down.” Represented by attorneys Joseph R. Napoli II and Daniel J. Dahlke of Beermann LLP, Gaurav seeks to sever ties completely, citing irreconcilable differences and failed reconciliation attempts.
At the heart of the case is the couple’s five-year-old child. Gaurav claims he is a fit and proper parent and is asking the court to grant him sole decision-making responsibilities, effectively sidelining Suvina from major choices in their child’s life. This request comes amid a separate legal matter—an emergency order of protection that Suvina filed just before the New Year, which remains pending.
Beyond custody, the divorce petition details the division of assets. Gaurav insists that his non-marital property be assigned solely to him while also seeking an “equitable portion” of the couple’s shared assets. He also wants all marital debt split fairly between them. Notably, he argues that Suvina has ample financial resources and should cover her own legal fees, while he opposes any request for spousal maintenance.
Now, it’s up to the court to decide: Will Gaurav walk away with the clean break he seeks, or will Suvina’s response shift the course of this high-stakes split?
