In a recent legal filing, Marlyn Cotto has taken the step of petitioning for the dissolution of her marriage with Miguel Cotto in Cook County, Illinois. The petition, submitted on August 29, 2023, details the couple’s union that began on August 4, 2010, in Chicago. Despite over a decade of marriage, the couple did not have any children together, nor did they adopt. The petitioner, Marlyn Cotto, aged 59, resides in Chicago, while the respondent, Miguel Cotto, aged 45, is located in Mount Prospect, Illinois.

The grounds for the dissolution primarily rest on “irreconcilable differences,” which have resulted in an “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” Both parties have decided that each will be responsible for their own debts, and they will each retain ownership of their respective properties.

Attorney Neil Kauffman, representing the petitioner, has filed the petition through the Law Office of Neil Kauffman. The petitioner has also requested that the issue of maintenance be permanently terminated for both parties.

As the legal process unfolds, these filings provide a glimpse into the complex dynamics of marital relationships and the decisions that individuals make when faced with irreconcilable differences. The court will now consider the various aspects of the petition, striving to ensure a just and equitable resolution for both parties involved.
