In the heart of Orland Park, Illinois, a matrimonial saga unfolds as Coleen Winterfield files for the dissolution of her marriage to Robert Winterfield on November 22, 2023. The couple, wed on July 20, 2002, shares two children: B.W., aged 16, and R.W., aged 15. Citing “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for divorce, the petition remains impartial on the party at fault.
In a legal chess match orchestrated by Jessica L. Boike of Boike Jonaitis Law LLC, Coleen lays out an intricate set of prayers. These include seeking a judgment for the dissolution of marriage, sole responsibility for significant decision-making regarding the children, a parenting schedule favoring her, child support, and financial contributions for extracurricular and educational expenses.
The petition, filed in Cook County, Illinois, divulges the intricate details of the Winterfields’ marital and non-marital properties and debts. However, the desired resolutions for these matters are left to the court’s interpretation.
Highlighted in the filing are quotes that shed light on the depth of the legal battle. The assertion of “irreconcilable differences” initiates the narrative, followed by claims of Coleen’s fitness as a parent and the plea for majority parenting time. The filing also accentuates Coleen’s non-marital property claims and an unusual request to bar Robert from maintenance. As the Winterfield divorce case unfolds, it promises a riveting legal spectacle in Cook County’s family court.
