In a significant move within the Cook County legal landscape, Kelli Sheehan has officially filed for divorce from Joseph Sheehan, marking the conclusion of their marriage that began on January 30, 2016. The petition, filed on September 17, 2024, through her attorneys at Schiller Du Canto & Fleck LLP, highlights irreconcilable differences as the primary reason for the split. Kelli asserts that past attempts at reconciliation have proven futile, underscoring the emotional complexities often inherent in such decisions.
The couple, who have resided in Illinois for over 90 days prior to filing, did not have children during their marriage, a factor that may streamline the dissolution process. Notably, the couple entered into a prenuptial agreement in 2015, which Kelli is seeking to enforce, asserting her claim to non-marital property and a fair division of their marital assets. Kelli also requests that the marital estate cover their attorneys’ fees, a common plea in such proceedings.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a testament to the personal and financial negotiations that accompany the end of a marital relationship, shedding light on the challenges many face when reconciling love and legality.
