On June 24, 2024, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Jeffrey Ackman filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Kathleen McCabe. Jeffrey, a 68-year-old attending surgeon at Shriner’s Children’s Chicago, has been married to Kathleen, a 60-year-old life coach, since June 21, 2003. The couple has two children: Quintin, aged 18, and Danielle, aged 17.
Jeffrey cites irreconcilable differences as the cause for the irretrievable breakdown of their marriage, with efforts at reconciliation having failed and future attempts deemed impractical. The petition states that the couple has been separated for over six months and requests the court to waive the statutory two-year separation requirement, which both parties are expected to agree to.
During their marriage, Jeffrey and Kathleen accumulated various marital properties, including real estate, retirement accounts, vehicles, and personal belongings. Jeffrey’s petition requests a fair division of these assets, with specific acknowledgment of both parties’ non-marital properties. The petition also indicates that neither party seeks maintenance from the other, as both are self-supporting.
Jeffrey’s attorney, John A. Conniff of the Law Offices of John A. Conniff, is representing him in this matter, seeking the court’s intervention to dissolve the marriage and equitably divide the marital property.
