In a recent filing made on August 29, 2023, in Cook County, Illinois, Ardon Semple has taken the step of seeking a divorce from his spouse, Vereniz Nieves. The couple married on December 13, 2019, but has now cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage. Notably, no children were born to the parties during their marriage.

Ardon Semple, aged 40 and currently unemployed, has brought the case before the court, represented by Family Law Solutions, P.C. His prayers, listed with deliberate clarity, reveal a stark canvas of dissolution—a judgment, and a plea for the retrieval of his non-marital possessions. Ardon also requests that Vereniz Nieves, a resident of Illinois be barred from receiving maintenance. Additionally, he seeks a fair division of their marital property, including real estate, retirement assets, bank accounts, vehicles, collectibles, furniture, and other items. Ardon emphasizes the need for a just and equitable share of this property.

The filing also highlights Vereniz Nieves, as having sufficient resources and income potential to support herself without maintenance from Ardon. The couple incurred marital debts during their marriage, and Ardon seeks an equitable division of these debts.

Intriguingly, the filing indicates that reconciliation attempts have failed, leading to the conclusion that living separately for over six months is in the best interest of the family. This case is poised to unfold in Cook County’s Domestic Relations Division, where the couple’s marital issues will be resolved in the coming months.
