Under the gray skies of a May evening in Cook County, Nicole Clark quietly stepped forward to end her marriage to Robert Lewandowski. On May 12, 2025, she filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in the Circuit Court of Cook County, invoking irreconcilable differences as the reason for what she called an “irretrievable breakdown” of their nearly six-year union.
Nicole, 35, residing in Brookfield, Illinois, and Robert, 38, of Darien, had married in Kane County on October 11, 2019. Their marriage bore no children, and Nicole affirms she is not pregnant. In her filing, she makes no request for maintenance and argues Robert, being gainfully employed and financially capable, should be barred from seeking support from her now or in the future.
According to the petition, the couple had acquired a mix of marital and non-marital property—ranging from real estate to bank accounts, household furnishings, automobiles, and personal effects. Nicole requests a just division of all marital assets and seeks to retain full ownership of her non-marital property. Similarly, she asks the court to allocate their debts equitably, reflecting each party’s contributions and responsibilities.
Represented by Merel Family Law, Nicole’s petition underscores a practical parting: no hostility, no spectacle—only a desire to move forward, untangled and unburdened. The court is asked to grant dissolution and offer any equitable relief appropriate to the facts of the case.
