On May 17, 2024, Adam J.C. Miller filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Shakana Kirksey-Miller in Cook County, Illinois. The couple, married on January 27, 2018, in Schererville, Indiana, has experienced irreconcilable differences leading to the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. Both parties have lived in Cook County for the requisite period preceding the filing, establishing the court’s jurisdiction over the case.
Adam Miller, represented by attorney Edward A. Tominov, seeks full parental responsibility for their five-year-old daughter, Saniyah. He requests that the court allocate all significant decision-making responsibilities to him, including those related to education, healthcare, religion, and extracurricular activities. The petition further asks for temporary and permanent child support from Shakana Kirksey-Miller to cover expenses for health insurance, education, and daycare. Miller’s filing underscores that Kirksey-Miller, employed as a social worker, has sufficient income and assets, arguing against her need for spousal maintenance or attorney fees.
Additionally, the petition calls for an equitable division of marital and non-marital property and debts, ensuring that both parties retain their respective assets and liabilities following the dissolution. The case is set to proceed under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Domestic Relations Division.
