In the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Marcia Preston has initiated proceedings to dissolve her marriage to Carr T. Preston, filing her petition on August 28, 2024. This legal action brings to an end a marriage that began on October 10, 1992, in Newark, New Jersey, following a period marked by irreconcilable differences. Represented by Meighan A. Harmon of Schiller Du Canto & Fleck LLP, Marcia is not only seeking the dissolution of their marriage but also a fair share of their accumulated marital property, along with temporary and permanent maintenance. The petition underscores that despite previous reconciliation efforts, the marriage has irretrievably broken down, making future attempts impractical.
Marcia, a 57-year-old homemaker, asserts her significant contributions to the marriage and argues that the substantial marital property should be equitably divided. The couple shares three living children who are now emancipated. Marcia’s petition emphasizes the need to recognize and retain her non-marital property while requesting a judgment that reflects a fair division of their joint assets and maintenance that aligns with the lifestyle she maintained during the marriage. The petition highlights the seriousness of the marital breakdown and the petitioner’s demand for a resolution that is equitable and just.
