In Chicago’s Cook County, a marriage once bright has dimmed, and on March 11, 2025, Jenny N. McCarty filed to dissolve her union with Robert J. McCarty in the Circuit Court. Tracy Callahan of Callahan & Hockemeyer, P.C., stands as her advocate, navigating a bond begun July 10, 2010, now strained by irreconcilable differences. At forty-eight, Jenny faces sixty-year-old Robert, their lives entwined around one son, D.M., fourteen, whose cardiac issues and anxiety sharpen the stakes.
Jenny seeks sole decision-making for D.M.’s health, faith, schooling, and activities, offering Robert fair time if they can’t agree. Both must support the boy, she insists, and Robert’s income—far outweighing hers—should fund maintenance, while she bars him from claiming any. Property sprawls across homes, pensions, and debts, ripe for equitable division, their non-marital shares to be preserved. Legal costs? She hopes for a deal, but Robert’s not getting her help.
This is a tale of resolve—a mother’s quiet stand to reshape a fractured family.
