In a recent legal filing in Cook County, Illinois, Laura Cartwright initiated the process of ending her marriage to Jason Cartwright. The petition, filed on October 19, 2023, outlines the couple’s union, which began on March 29, 2014, and their shared residence in Hoffman Estates, Cook County.
The couple, who have three young children together – J.F.C. (seven years old), R.E.C. (six years old), and J.J.C. (four years old) – cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage, with no explicit blame placed on either party.
Attorney Kathryn H. Mickelson from Beerman LLP represents Laura Cartwright in this case, where child support is requested, but sole responsibility for the children is not sought. Instead, the petition indicates a desire for an allocation judgment regarding the children’s care and decision-making authority.
Notably, the filing does not request maintenance for Laura but suggests that Jason should be barred from receiving it. The details regarding the distribution of marital property, marital debts, and non-marital property are not provided in the text, leaving these aspects to be resolved during the legal proceedings.
While the document does not include specific quotes, it sets the stage for what appears to be a challenging and complex legal process as the Cartwrights work through their differences, with their children’s well-being at the forefront. The case is expected to draw significant attention as it unfolds in Cook County.
