In a filing dated October 6, 2023, Amanda Martin, a resident of Chicago, Illinois, initiated proceedings to dissolve her marriage with Joshua R. Martin, who also resides in Chicago. The couple, who tied the knot on January 7, 2021, have one child, Jack, who is now a year old. The petition cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the dissolution, without specifying blame.
Amanda’s prayers to the court encompass a wide range of requests, from the dissolution of the marriage to the allocation of parenting time and responsibilities in the best interest of Jack.

Additionally, Amanda seeks any other relief the court deems equitable and just. Notably, Amanda is represented by Gordon Nelson from The Law Offices of Gordon Nelson, LLC.
