In the quiet expanse of decades-long partnership, Susan C. Graim and Calvin L. Chin have decided to end a marriage that began on June 12, 1976, in Breckenridge, Colorado. The petition, submitted on November 20, 2025, in Cook County, Illinois, portrays a union that, while long-standing, succumbed to irreconcilable differences. Susan, 77, and Calvin, 72, both retired and residents of Chicago, have navigated the complexities of life together for nearly fifty years, producing two children who are now emancipated. Yet, even the weight of history could not prevent the final dissolution.
Represented by STG Divorce Law, P.C., Susan seeks the formal dissolution of the marriage with the court’s endorsement of a Marital Settlement Agreement. The couple has mutually resolved matters concerning maintenance, the division of marital assets and debts, and the designation of their respective non-marital property. Susan requests that the court approve their agreement as fair and equitable and to incorporate it into the judgment. Attorneys’ fees and costs are also handled according to the parties’ agreement. Beyond the legal formalities, the petition embodies a rare civility, a measured acknowledgment of a shared past, and a meticulous effort to conclude matters without rancor.
