In a petition filed on October 20, 2023, Catie A. Athey, a resident of Glenview, Illinois, has formally requested the dissolution of her marriage to Lance C. Athey. Catie, 27 years old, is employed as a science teacher and volleyball coach at Glenbrook North High School. Her husband, Lance C. Athey, works as a Financial Analyst. His address wasn’t provided in the text. The couple was married on September 5, 2021, in St. Louis, Missouri, with the marriage duly registered in St. Louis County.
Catie asserts that irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, making attempts at reconciliation impractical. The couple has one child, Kasey Paul Athey, born on October 24, 2022, and Catie is not currently pregnant.
Regarding parental responsibilities, Catie seeks sole decision-making authority, as well as the majority of parenting time for the child, emphasizing the child’s established roots and support network in Illinois. She argues that adjudicating the matter in Illinois is in the child’s best interest, despite a pending petition in Missouri.
Catie’s legal representation comes from Thomas Villanti of Schiller Du Canto & Fleck LLP. The firm, in conjunction with Catie, requests the court’s jurisdiction over various aspects including dissolution, child custody, support, and property division. They seek equitable resolution and a fair division of marital assets.
The petition highlights Catie’s financial dependence on her husband and requests fair maintenance and child support. Additionally, it calls for an equitable share of the marital property. The case is currently under the jurisdiction of Cook County, Illinois.
