The architecture of a once shared life now appears as hollow scaffolding in the petition filed by Katherine Alexandra Roszak on April 21, 2025, before the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Bound together in marriage since July 27, 1996, Katherine and Matthew Roszak saw their union span nearly three decades, during which they raised two children and assembled a collection of investments, properties, and comforts—comforts Katherine claims she can no longer access.
Represented by Weiman & Associates LLC, Katherine asserts that irreconcilable differences have rendered the marriage beyond repair. She describes prior attempts at reconciliation as fruitless, with the weight of emotional distance now heavier than any material possession. Though the children are now adults, the petition underscores the economic disparity left in the wake of the relationship’s collapse.
Katherine, currently unemployed, claims she lacks the means to maintain the opulent lifestyle to which she became accustomed—one she says Matthew financed entirely. She seeks not only the dissolution of marriage but an equitable, if not disproportionately greater, share of their marital estate. She also calls for Matthew to shoulder the legal and maintenance burdens going forward, citing his multiple income streams and continued financial capability.
As the petition makes its slow passage through the court’s machinery, what emerges is less a tale of acrimony and more an indictment of imbalance—one partner flourishing while the other stands adrift, asking the law to recalibrate a scale long tilted.
