The dissolution of the marriage between Margarita Castro Gutierrez and Jose Cornelio, filed on November 14, 2024, in Cook County, Illinois, marks the end of a union strained by irreconcilable differences. Married in March 2016, the couple lived together until their separation in August 2024, but now find themselves on divergent paths. Margarita, a 29-year-old resident of Cicero, Illinois, is seeking the primary allocation of parenting time and responsibilities for their three minor children, who have been living with her since the separation.
While the couple’s marriage did not yield significant financial assets, Margarita is requesting that Jose contribute to the support of the children, as she lacks sufficient income to fully support them on her own. Despite his employment, Jose has yet to provide the necessary support, which is central to Margarita’s petition. The couple’s marital property is nominal, with no known debts, and both parties are capable of self-support.
Margarita’s legal representation is being handled by America Salgado Dominguez of the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Foundation, who is pursuing a fair division of property and financial assistance from Jose for the children’s well-being. With the dissolution of marriage imminent, Margarita’s primary concern is ensuring her children’s future, supported by the court’s determination on custody and financial responsibilities.
