Carson Elizabeth Grove’s decision to file for divorce on June 5, 2025, marked the quiet turning point in a marriage that had already begun to dissolve months before. Submitted in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, her petition seeks to end her union with Geddy Benson Grove, a relationship that began with promise in June 2019 in Champaign County.
The petition outlines a marriage with no minor children, no pregnancy, and no request for maintenance. The couple had been separated since November 18, 2024. What had once been shared has now become distinct—two lives no longer lived as one. Carson asks the court for a fair division of their marital property and debts, the return of her former name, Satchwell, and confirmation that each party will retain their non-marital property.
No attorneys are listed for either party. The filing bears no dramatic claims, no public airing of grievances. It is a clear and firm appeal for legal resolution, a recognition that the bond once held by affection and commitment has now given way to irreconcilable differences.
What remains is a request for finality—a respectful, lawful end to a chapter quietly closing in the life of a woman choosing her next beginning.
