In a petition filed on October 2, 2024, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Kenneth L. Wiggins seeks to dissolve his marriage to Vera Moses, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who married on July 26, 2016, in Accra, Ghana, have been living apart since November 2022. Wiggins, 50, resides in Hazel Crest, Illinois, and Moses, 45, resides in Calumet City. The petition reveals no children were born or adopted during the marriage, and Vera is not currently pregnant.

Kenneth, representing himself pro se, requests the court to finalize the dissolution of the marriage and bar both parties from seeking maintenance or claims to each other’s pensions. He also seeks sole possession of the non-marital property located at Hazel Crest, asking the court to ensure Vera is not held liable for any financial obligations tied to the property. The couple has already divided their personal property and debts incurred after their separation in 2022. Vera wishes to resume using her maiden name, Moses, and both parties are responsible for their own legal fees.

The petition presents a clean division, emphasizing a desire for swift and equitable resolution without further financial entanglement. Kenneth’s plea is straightforward, aiming for closure after two years of separation.
