In a filing dated November 29, 2023, a marital saga unfolds in Cook County, Illinois, as Virginia Bucki seeks to dissolve her union with Walter Bucki. Married since August 2, 2011, the couple cites irreconcilable differences as the catalyst for the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. The court document, however, remains silent on attributing blame.

Represented by Cassandra Perrino of STG Divorce Law, P.C., Virginia’s prayers to the court encompass a comprehensive array of requests. She seeks a judgment for the dissolution of marriage based on irreconcilable differences and an equitable distribution of marital property and debts. Non-marital property is to be allocated to each party as their sole and separate possession. The filing emphasizes the importance of joint allocation of parenting responsibilities, parenting time, and adherence to statutory guidelines for child support.

Noteworthy is the request to bar Walter from receiving maintenance from Virginia, asserting his capability for self-support. The court is also urged to determine and rectify any dissipation of the marital estate by Walter. Additionally, each party is expected to cover their attorneys’ fees and costs unless an agreement stipulates otherwise.

The filing highlights the failed attempts at reconciliation and emphasizes the impracticability of future efforts. The best interests of the minor children, Brianna (11 years old) and Brendan (10 years old), are underscored, urging joint allocation of parenting responsibilities.

The complexity of marital assets, non-marital properties, and debts during the marriage adds layers to the dissolution process, with the desired resolution being an equitable allocation. The document illuminates the evolving dynamics of the Bucki divorce, where the interplay of legal intricacies and personal decisions shapes the narrative of a marriage reaching its breaking point.
