In the quiet drift between routine and rupture, Sarah Liddell reached a breaking point. On April 4, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, she filed for dissolution of her 22-year marriage to Erick Liddell, citing irreconcilable differences that had long eclipsed any path to reconciliation. Represented by attorney Rita Ghose of RMG Family Law, LLC, Sarah is asking the court to recognize what her daily life has come to reflect: the bond between her and Erick, once forged in hope, is now fractured beyond repair.
Married on a winter’s end in February 2003, Sarah and Erick share three children, ages 18, 16, and 14. Though they have lived separately for more than six months, their family remains entangled in the ways that only time and parenting can sustain. Sarah asserts her fitness as a decision-maker and seeks a parenting arrangement grounded in the children’s best interests, along with appropriate child support and shared responsibility for their educational and healthcare needs.
The petition outlines a fair and equitable division of marital assets and debts. Sarah also asks that her non-marital property remain hers alone and that Erick be barred from seeking spousal maintenance. With measured finality, Sarah requests permission to reclaim her former name, Sarah Ojiambo—a quiet step toward rediscovering herself amid the end of a shared story.
