Delores L. Ricks McDonald, a 71-year-old retiree, has petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage with Kenneth McDonald, a 66-year-old whose current employment status is unclear. The couple, married for nearly 35 years, cites irreconcilable differences as the cause of the irretrievable breakdown of their relationship. They have lived apart since January 2003, with Delores residing in Chicago, Illinois, and Kenneth residing in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
The couple has no children, and the petition specifically requests an equitable division of property and debt. Delores seeks to reclaim her maiden name, as part of the dissolution. The divorce petition, filed on November 4, 2024, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, asks the court to formalize the dissolution and allocate the marital property accordingly. There are no children involved in this case, and the petitioner’s request emphasizes that attempts at reconciliation have been unsuccessful.
Delores is represented by Deandre D. Tillman of Tillman & Tillman & Associates, P.C., who is advocating for an equitable distribution of assets and debts accrued during the marriage. The petition underscores that the parties have not cohabited for over six months, signaling an irreparable end to the relationship.
