On October 30, 2024, Lisa Barroso filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from William Barroso in Cook County, Illinois, citing irreconcilable differences. Represented by the Law Offices of Gretchen Schrader, Lisa, a realtor based in Chicago, asserts that her 25-year marriage with William, also a Chicago-based realtor, has broken down irreparably. The couple married in 1999 in Miami, Florida, and share a 15-year-old son, Brandon. According to the petition, both Lisa and William are capable of self-support, so neither is seeking spousal maintenance.
In her petition, Lisa requests an equitable division of the marital assets and debts, alongside a balanced approach to parenting responsibilities. She proposes joint decision-making on major issues for Brandon, including education, healthcare, religion, and extracurriculars, and suggests that both parents contribute to their son’s support and educational expenses. Notably, Lisa asks the court to reserve decisions on potential contributions toward Brandon’s post-secondary education until further clarity emerges on his academic plans. Additionally, she seeks for each party to bear their own legal expenses. The petition outlines an amicable dissolution arrangement with mutual responsibilities, aiming to balance the family’s needs with equitable outcomes.
