In a recent legal filing in Cook County, Illinois, Jennifer Schaff seeks the dissolution of her marriage to Gregory Schaff, filed on November 21, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The document, which refrains from assigning blame, reveals the couple’s marriage date of May 17, 2014, and the birth years of their two children, CJS (born in 2017) and JLS (born in 2020).
Jennifer, represented by Pamela J. Kuzniar of Haid and Teich LLP, lists prayers in the filing that underscore her quest for substantial equality. Among these are the entry of a judgment for dissolution, allocation of significant decision-making responsibilities for their children on a substantially equal basis, parenting time for each parent with Jennifer as the residential parent, and both parties being barred from receiving maintenance.
The document emphasizes Jennifer’s plea for equal parental responsibilities, requesting the allocation of significant decision-making responsibilities for the minor children. While child support is not explicitly mentioned, the filing indicates that the parties have mediated financial matters, reaching an agreement on the allocation of marital and non-marital property, waiver of maintenance, and other financial aspects. The specifics of this agreement, however, remain undisclosed.
Although the filing lacks direct quotes, its legal statements and requests paint a picture of a complex divorce proceeding in which Jennifer Schaff seeks an equitable dissolution of her marriage with Gregory Schaff in Cook County.
