In a significant development within Cook County, Illinois, a petition for the dissolution of marriage has been filed by Mayra A. Guanipa against Ben R. Velecillos. The couple, both residing in Cook County, entered into marriage on February 21, 2020. After over six months of separation, beginning on January 15, 2022, irreconcilable differences have led to an irretrievable breakdown in their union.

The petition, filed on September 27, 2023, outlines a series of prayers by Mayra A. Guanipa. These encompass equitable division of marital assets and debts, maintenance payments from Ben R. Velecillos, and specific requests regarding attorney’s fees and costs.

Mayra A. Guanipa, represented by attorney Anel Bautista from The Law Offices of Jenet G. Pequeño, LLC, is also seeking non-marital property entitlements, along with a range of other relief options that the court may find just and reasonable.

The couple did not have any children during their marriage. As the proceedings continue, the court will delve into the intricate details of the marital assets and debts, aiming to bring an equitable resolution to this significant life transition for Mayra A. Guanipa and Ben R. Velecillos.
