The fragile bonds of a brief union have finally frayed beyond repair. On May 14, 2025, Loren Riedy Wilkinson initiated the dissolution of her marriage to Samuel Wilkinson in Cook County, Illinois. Their marriage, solemnized just over a year ago on April 20, 2024, has succumbed to irreconcilable differences that neither past efforts nor future hopes can mend.
Represented by Larimer Law LLC, Loren stands firm in seeking an equitable division of their shared estate — assets amassed in the short span of their union, ranging from furniture and vehicles to retirement accounts. Both parties maintain individual non-marital property, which Loren requests remain distinct. The petition also highlights marital debts, urging the court for a fair allocation, including the assignment of Samuel’s individual debts.
No children were born from this marriage, nor are any expected. The absence of prior agreements on support or maintenance signals a clean slate for the court to resolve. Loren also asks to reclaim her maiden name, Riedy, as the final thread of identity tied to this union is severed.
The petition is a testament to a marriage undone by the quiet collapse of trust and shared life, carried forth with a desire for clarity and finality in Cook County’s Domestic Relations Division.
