In a recent filing dated October 6, 2023, Juan Jimenez Gonzalez, a resident of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, has initiated proceedings to dissolve his marriage with Angelica Jimenez, who currently resides in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. The couple tied the knot on July 5, 2016, in a civil ceremony registered in Ventura County, California. Despite being married for several years, the parties have been living separately since 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their marriage breakdown.

Notably, the petition does not specify which party attributes blame for the irretrievable breakdown of their union. The couple, however, does not share any children. Juan Jimenez Gonzalez, aged 85, is seeking to retain certain non-marital property according to the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Furthermore, he is requesting that Angelica Jimenez, aged 67, be denied maintenance and held responsible for her own attorney’s fees and costs.

Representing Juan Jimenez Gonzalez is Julia Strehl from Consumer Law Group, LLC. Interestingly, the filing does not provide details regarding any debts or properties owned by the parties, or their desired resolutions in these matters. This dissolution of marriage case is set to unfold in Cook County, Illinois, making it a notable legal event in the region.
