In Cook County’s domestic relations court, Alexa Richmond has filed for divorce from Aaron Booker on June 20, 2024. Both aged 37, they were married on January 7, 2022, in Maywood, Cook County. Alexa, employed at the University of Illinois, and Aaron, a resident of Chicago, have been living apart for over six months due to irreconcilable differences.

The couple shares a three-year-old son, Noah Booker, born in April 2021. Alexa, represented by John Trepel & Associates, LLC, seeks majority parenting time and joint decision-making rights concerning Noah’s welfare. Beyond dissolving their marriage, Alexa’s petition aims to fairly distribute their marital assets and debts accumulated during their time together.

Amidst the procedural formalities of the courtroom, Alexa’s decision to proceed with legal dissolution reflects the complexities and challenges of ending their marital union.
