The dissolution of a 13-year marriage unfolded in Cook County, Illinois, as Sarah Maureen Love filed for divorce from Matthew Patrick Love on November 20, 2024. Represented by her attorneys at Manas | Goldberg | Vanderporten, Sarah’s petition underscores irreconcilable differences that have irretrievably fractured the couple’s union.
Married on July 1, 2011, in Skokie, Illinois, the Loves have three children, including one with autism, requiring lifelong care. In her petition, Sarah seeks to be named the primary residential parent while advocating for joint decision-making responsibilities in matters concerning their children. She also requests an equitable division of their marital assets, which include their Glenview residence, furnishings, and retirement benefits, and proposes retaining the home until their youngest child completes high school.
The petition reveals an effort by both parties to amicably resolve issues surrounding child support, educational expenses, and the division of assets. However, Sarah explicitly requests that both parties waive claims for spousal support. She also seeks to resume her maiden name, Sarah Maureen Slusarz, once the divorce is finalized.
Matthew has yet to respond formally to the petition, but the case sets the stage for deliberations addressing the best interests of their children and the equitable allocation of their shared life.
