In a filing dated September 12, 2023, John Duda, a resident of Savannah, Georgia, has submitted a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Maggie Duda, who is presently residing in Cook County, Illinois. The couple, married since November 14, 2020, has cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation, resulting in an irretrievable breakdown. They share one child, five-year-old John Brayden Duda, and John Duda is seeking significant decision-making responsibilities and primary residence for the child. Moreover, he requests reasonable support from Maggie Duda for their child’s well-being.

John Duda, through his attorney Mark Schondorf of Hecht Schondorf, LLC, outlines various requests, including fair distribution of marital property, allocation of non-marital property, and a bar on maintenance claims by Maggie Duda. He also seeks an award of attorney’s fees and costs, emphasizing Maggie’s ability to support herself.

This case, filed in Cook County, Illinois, underscores the complexities involved in marital dissolution, especially pertaining to property allocation and child support. The court’s role will be pivotal in determining the final outcome of this separation.
