On March 11, 2025, Virginia Ryan walked into the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois, her petition for divorce from Keenan Ryan laid out with the careful hand of her attorneys at Abramovitch Blalock McKinnon. Married since January 28, 2017, in Chicago, their story now unfolds in River Forest—two lives, thirty-nine and thirty-eight years old, pulling apart after irreconcilable differences tore through the fabric of their union. Three children stand as the quiet stakes in this unraveling.

Virginia’s asking for the reins—sole decision-making for the kids, most of their time under her roof—while Keenan gets his fair share of moments with them. She’s not pregnant, and no deals exist yet on support or property. They’ve built a life—real estate, investments, retirement accounts—fueled by her efforts, she says, and she wants her cut. Debts, too, need splitting. Child support from Keenan’s pocket is on the table, per Illinois law, to keep the kids steady.

This isn’t just a dissolution—it’s a mother’s measured claim to hold her family’s future, carved out in a courtroom’s impartial light.
