In Cook County, the story of a marriage became a matter of record on September 19, 2025. Reginald Willett, through his counsel at The Muller Firm, Ltd., filed a petition asking the court to dissolve his marriage to Kimberly Willett. They married on May 24, 2008, in Chicago, a union that stretched across seventeen years and produced two children, Kimaya, twelve, and Kimora, ten.
The petition describes a marriage eroded by irreconcilable differences, an irretrievable breakdown that no attempt at reconciliation could repair. Both parents are described as capable of caring for their children, though Reginald asks the court for sole decision-making authority if agreements cannot be reached, and for the majority of parenting time. The weight of this request hangs in contrast to the possibility of shared responsibilities, left open but uncertain.
There is the matter of property—what was earned together and what each brought into the marriage before. Assets, debts, obligations, all to be divided along the fault lines of law and fairness. Each spouse is employed, able to support themselves, and the petition asks that neither receive maintenance. Each is expected to shoulder their own legal costs.
The filing is more than paper. It is the rendering of private life into public form, where the facts of marriage and separation take shape in lines and clauses. Seventeen years reduced to a declaration: this family cannot be preserved. The court is now asked to make order where lives have come apart.
