In the quiet halls of Cook County’s Domestic Relations Division, Kayla Hanson—through her attorney Marly R. Tristano of Tristano & Tristano, Ltd.—filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage against Anthony Louis on October 24, 2025, a date that quietly marked the unraveling of a marriage that had lasted barely over two years. What began on July 21, 2023, in DuPage County, Illinois, has now reached the formal threshold of ending, shaped not by conflict but by the slow, inevitable turning of two people away from each other.
The petition describes their separation as a result of “irreconcilable differences,” the phrase used by law to hold the thousand unspoken disappointments that make a life together untenable. There are no children between them, no demands for maintenance, and no quarrel over dependence—just the calm division of what was once shared: a home in Lemont, Illinois, and the residue of what had been a promise of permanence. Both are gainfully employed—she, a physician assistant; he, a professional hockey player—each fully able to sustain their own future apart.
The filing suggests a quiet order amid the dissolution, with both parties having reached an oral agreement that divides property and responsibility in fair measure. Should the court reject their proposed settlement, Kayla reserves the right to withdraw the petition entirely, a gesture that underscores both resolve and restraint. In this small, succinct act of legal closure, love does not vanish—it simply folds itself into the ledger of the court, still and unspoken.
