In a surprising turn of events, Jennifer Min-Hua Chiao filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Nicholas Shang-Hsiung Chiao on August 15, 2023, in Cook County, Illinois. The couple, who had been married since March 30, 1989, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the dissolution, marking the end of their 34-year-long union.
The Chiaos, who both hold pension or retirement accounts, have no children born or adopted during their marriage. In the filing, they emphasize their ability to independently support themselves without the need for maintenance.
Jennifer’s prayers include a request for a Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage/Civil Union, as well as the retention of non-marital property for both parties. Strikingly, when questioned about her former name, Jennifer Chiao firmly declined to revert to it.
This dissolution proceeding, laden with decades of shared history, encapsulates the intricate complexities of long-term relationships facing the challenges of irreconcilable differences. As the legal proceedings unfold in Cook County, the fate of the Chiaos’ union hangs in the balance, a tale of love and life taking a new direction.
